Paul, thanks for the great review and kind words. We've got lots to improve and these posts really help. For example, threading is very high on the list of things to do (we knew HN users especially would notice its absence). Looking fwd to hearing more feedback both on your blog and hacker news.

Yeah I can vouch for the threading. My load averages went up a good bit when I first started using it and it was importing comments..

All imports are done in the background using wp-cron so they shouldn't be directly affecting page load. But if you turned off any caching, given the traffic your blog sees, that's understandable.

Awesome I have been waiting for someone to do this for awhile now. This looks great. I will integrate it into my blog soon after learning a bit more.

Congrats to the teams this will fill a huge need for bloggers who aren't able to follow the discussion they themselves start.

Thanks so much! If you find the plugin isn't for you, or you want something for non WP blogs, Wesley over at www.improvingtheweb.com made a great new app with our API (convotrack.com). Check out the button on the left side here: http://www.micropersuasion.com/2009/03/social-networking-dem...

Any thoughts on a movable type plugin?
