Intense Debate emerges from private beta, offers new WordPress plugin

Intense Debate
Less than two months after being acquired by WordPress's parent company Automattic, blog commenting system Intense Debate is again available to the public. The service had been in private beta for the last two months, not because the company was busy adding a ton of new features, but because it was busy scaling Intense Debate's infrastructure to handle the additional traffic that is likely to come when WordPress starts to include Intense Debate features by default.

Intense Debate also works with Blogger, TypePad, and Tumblr.
