Switching to Disqus or IntenseDebate for your commenting platform

One of the best moves that you will ever make for your blog is switching comment platforms.
While Blogger is improving all the time, there are two platforms available that will change the way you interact with readers.

I have used both of them, and like them equally, for different reasons. Depending in your niche, you will find people gravitating heavily toward either Disqus or IntenseDebate.

Disqus.  No frills, but ease of use.  Reply to comments directly from email with a very clean format.

IntenseDebate  More bells and whistles.  Reply to comments directly from email, though they appear on post with strange symbols.
