Happy to announced a free tool to help WordPress blog owners embed Hubski comments on their sites quickly and easily. We developed this little plugin with much help from Mark and Steve, and we're hoping it will help spread the Hubski community out to a wider audience. Cheers.
Great job, Nigel! I think this is a great step in getting more people to utilize Discussion via Hubski!
fr33lunch just posted this article about comment sections and forcing users to use their real identities. What HuffPo fails to realize is that it isn't the anonymity that makes people troll or leave hateful comments. It's the lack of quality content and comments across their site. People are much more likely to troll and leave hateful or childish comments when they see other commenters doing the same.
Hubski already has an established group of users who value high quality content and comments. Providing a window into this thoughtfulness is a way to encourage readers of your blog to think further about the topic at hand and leave similar comments. We are proof that we don't need to verify real identities in order to create an intelligent discourse online.
Keep up the good work!
