Not a web company

Microsoft is not a web company. In case you hadn’t noticed, they suck at the web.

Intense Debate and WordPress

As you probably know, this blog used to be on Movable Type. One day, Movable Type’s comments stopped working well for me, so I added Intense Debate to handle my comments instead. Please note that I was NOT using Intense Debate as a plugin on MovableType (only add-on code) and that there was NO synchronization betweeen MT and ID; as a result, the comments that were left on Intense Debate ended up in Intense Debate’s database only and NOT in Movable Type’s database. This week I imported my Movable Type posts and comments to WordPress. Next thing, I would like to import the comments which were left on Intense Debate into WordPress as well.

Intense Debate’s plugin promises “a two-way integration with WordPress”, so I figured that it would not only back-up my WordPress comments (the ones that formerly were on Movable Type) into Intense Debate, but also my Intense Debate comments into WordPress. Unfortunately, that is not the case: if I de-activate Intense Debate’s plugin after synchronizing, the comments that were only in Intense Debate disappear from my blog (i.e. they have NOT been copied to WordPress).

Am I doing something wrong? Is there any way – with this plug-in or otherwise – I can copy the comments left only on Intense Debate to WordPress and then use only WordPress for comments? Or is this how it’s actually supposed to work? Is Intense Debate promising “two-way integration and synchronization” only to lure people to use their service, but then will not let them use whichever commenting system they prefer? Any help is greatly appreciated. Many many thanks!

From web1.0 to web2.0

web1.0: we will burn VC money like crazy, and then make a ton of money by selling banner ads to the next generation of clueless dotcoms. In the meantime, please give us more VC money.

web2.0: we could make a few bucks with Adsense, but would rather not so we can hope for a much higher valuation if/when they buy us out. In the meantime, we organize “web3.0″ conferences.

nuovo dotcoma prova

AAA… prova… provA! (nota: questa piccola riga aggiunta non dovrebbe vedersi nel feed).

Vedi il nuovo dotcoma? Se sì, mi lasci un commento, dicendomi anche dove sei geograficamente? (non serve a nulla, ma fa scena, dai). Ah, cosa pensi della nuova grafica iper minimalista? Ti piace?
