Just wondering – API Docs aren’t up yet?

Also, I was randomly selected to test a Captcha? WTF? (Message on top of post, with comment still not posted – “Your comment has been randomly selected to participate in a simple verification process. Please fill in the CAPTCHA below to get your submission accepted. Thank you for participating.”)

API docs have been released to some developers. We’re polishing them up for public consumption. Check back soon. :)

Alan,

Thanks for pointing out that JS-Kit announced these features and more last month. I also want to re-iterate that JS-Kit syncs with Blogger as well as WordPress comments. Since the July 8 announcement, JS-Kit also syncs with Intense Debate and Disqus.

Also, I want to respond to the suggestion at the end of this article that we might be part of those who Daniel thinks have come into the space because it was “hot”. JS-Kit launched in November of 2006 (see http://www.techcrunch.com/2006/11/29/quick-embed-code-to-add-comments-to-any-site/), while Disqus launched in May 2007. So, I assume that Daniel is not referring to us in that comment.

Best,

Nancy at JS-Kit

Hi Yuvi – nice to see you over here :) Yea, we use Mollom for spam prevention and sometimes it decides to throw up a captcha – I apologize and appreciate that you filled it in. If you decide to comment a lot, I can setup an account for you so you never get that message.

I prefer the normal comments – don’t care for any of these comment outsourcing companies.

I think Danny boy’s shot at other companies in the space is in pretty poor taste.

I don’t exactly understand what the benefit of these services are. How is this different from “trackback spam” that I see every once and a while?

Good to see the local comment hosting feature (more secure and better SEO) – I believe there still is an issue with content duplication? SH
