I really like IntenseDebate, it looks nice. But I'm not going to use it until they make a Habari plugin. So I asked them. It might help if you add your voice.

This may seem a bit hypocritical of me as I am already using Disqus which doesn't have a Habari plugin. However, Disqus is independent. IntenseDebate is owned by Automattic, and I think it is is important for them to demonstrate their commitment to independence by developing a really good plugin for Habari to match the work they have done for WordPress.

I do think that in general it is about time more services offered Habari plugins given how easy it is to develop for.
