TechCrunch already applied it and they now have a total mess in their comments (although you see your friends' comments at the top which is nice). Do you think it will take off and eventually take over the market share of IntenseDebate/Disqus/Echo and others?

Let's hope not - or rather, I hope not.

I realize that a lot of people don't mind having Facebook, Twitter, Google, or other companies manage their identity, but I'm really not interested in giving one company that level of control over my online life. --My personal, professional, and online lives are separate, and although they intersect at times, there is no reason for them to become one and the same.
