BackType Launches Wordpress Plugin to Connect Conversations

The plugin works with Hacker News comments too - this conversation will be mirrored on our blog<p>More info: <a href="http://www.backtype.com/plugins/connect" rel="nofollow">http://www.backtype.com/plugins/connect</a>

I'm not too convinced at the minute. The problem is that everyone here (hacker news) is having their own little converstation about this and it's the same for reddit etc. When you stick all this into one list, you are losing context.<p>What if someone replies on the blog to a hacker news comment? Good chance the hacker news reader will never see the reply.<p>Perhaps it would be better if all the different comment systems were grouped independently?

Will I have to uninstall Disqus to get this work? Is there a way to migrate to BackType's connect or combine the two?

So you're taking content written on other sites, scraping it without permission of the original authors or site owners, and reproducing wholesale on your site? This is unethical at best and outright illegal at worst.

thanks a lot backtype!
