Yes, not clear on the 40M blogs, have you integrated with them? I am now using one of the mentioned services, cocomment, and am pretty happy. Am curious to see how well it tracks across different blogs.

Good luck!

Congrats from the NewsCred team Nick! We share some common goals – bringing the power and benefits of RSS aggregation to the mainstream is definately something we should all strive for. Looking forward to NewsCred and Fav.or.it both succeeding in this space!

BTW, what do you mean your platform ’supports 40+ million’ blogs…?

I think it’s a great thing that favourit is targeting the mainstream audience because too many times I see exciting apps/services/plugins/whatever that are too geeky and techie to get a mainstream adoption.
If your service is for a niche you can dream to be the ‘next-twitter’ but if your service is mainstream you can dream to be the ‘next-facebook’. What would you choose?

Dan,

Disqus are partners of ours, and as they grow will continue to support their efforst. But our platform already supports 40+ million blogs which dwarfs anyone else, although we only aggregate 2000 feeds right now, that will grow quickly, and you can bet on seeing some more API announcments in a few weeks.

Sam,
Mike has always been a great advocate, but now the service is launched I will be moving away from my technical role and getting back to my ‘blogger roots’ and getting the message out.

I really like favour.it but in order to jump the gap what they need right now is an A-list champion to promote their service. Friendfeed had Scoble, Discus has Fred Wilson and Sessmic has Loic.

Many of these US based services would not have been so quickly adopted by the blogosphere had they been left to their own devices.

Maybe Favour.it needs someone like Paul Walsh or Mike Butcher to heavily promote and endorse them to widely to his various audiences.

Congrats to Nick!

My concern is there’s a contradiction between making something that’s deliberately aimed at a subset of blog users, and at the same time trying to build a standard in commenting systems which would be more likely to be adopted if it had universal reach.

Would the first goal – of bringing blogs to the masses – be better supported by adopting an existing commenting system (Disqus perhaps) instead?
