Rediscovering Domesticity: Quick Poll

Quick Poll

Hello Friends!

As part of the 31 Days to Build a Better Blog, I have a quick poll for you.  Now that I have dropped the .blogspot from my address, I am ready to upgrade my comment system.  I would love input from all of you so I make the best choice to make it easier for you to interact on the blog.  There are two options to choose from.  Please let me know your preference in the comments!
  1. Disqus - Simple comment form to fill out with a field for your name, email (will never be shared or publicized), and comment.  Disqus enables you to sign in with yahoo, facebook, twitter, or openid so you can skip the first two steps.  Disqus allows you to edit your comments - you can actually go into your Disqus comment page and see all the comments you have left.  Disqus allows for real-time conversations through comments with the reply feature - reply to the whole blog or a specific commentor.
  2. CommentLuv - This system is similar to Disqus.  It has a simple form like above.  It also offers a place to leave your twitter ID so others can follow you if they like (or I can too).  CommentLuv will list your latest blog post (if you are a blogger) so other visitors can see what you are writing about and visit your site.  
Here's a screen shot of how each system looks to give you a better idea.

CommentLuv (by clicking CommentLuv, your most recent post title will be displayed as a link):
So, what do you think?

I've never seen Disqus before. It's interesting, but I know I've liked the Commentluv style on blogs. I really like that it has the option to be notified of follow up comments, and that it shows your own last post. But I don't think you can go wrong with either one!

You clearly need one or the other as I had to switch from Chrome to yucky IE just to leave a comment (Blogger comment forms often don't load in Chrome for some reason). I prefer the second format that's like Wordpress to the Disqus, but Disqus is definitely preferred over straight Blogger!
