The IntenseDebate guys work hard on their product and are some of the nicest dudes around. It's good to see a startup like ID get some big exposure like this.

Looks like IntenseDebate have been acquired already (by Automattic, the maker of WordPress)

Yeah, they were acquired by Automattic a couple months ago, but the same dudes are running the show at ID.

They're getting some interesting answers there. Good on them, and good to see a government entity not being afraid of a democratic system!..

Kind of makes sense: isn't it the default in Wordpress now? Or am I wrong and this is unrelated?

Congrats to the team, though! That's excellent.

...so?

I guess the relevance is that they came out of TechStars, a YC clone/competitor.

And that they are direct competitors with Disqus, a (great) YC company.

Is this forum exclusive for only Ycombinator companies and not other incubator companies? There is no biased for posting Ask HN rate my start-up.

Congrats to the IntenseDebate team!
