This single-sign-on discussion system is a turn off for many people. One of the most powerful motivators of internet discussions is the anonymity of the user. You mean I can say what I want and don't have to be held accountable? In that case, I'll be honest! <br><br>As a discussion participant, it's nice to be able to track your comments across all the sites you visit. But for me, most of those sites are not using Disqus so I personally haven't realized that benefit. Hey, Hooman. I think it's an interesting service.
