Do you think one day we'll see the plugin work with third party commenting systems like Disqus and Intensedebate ? I think this will help with conversations and continue with the trend of turning blogs into social networks. I'm going to update http://socialcarolina.org/blog to wp 2.5 and install the plug-in soon.
