Washington Post integrates Talk – Mozilla’s open-source commenting platform
Reddit has had embeddable comment threads for over two years.  It was a feature I actually worked on <i>nine</i> years ago, but the standards weren't there at the time to make it work with voting.<p>I know I'm super biased, but I still find Reddit comments the easiest to read and follow (HN is a pretty close second, especially after they added comment collapsing).<p>Is it really just bad marketing it on Reddit's part that keeps others from using their embeddable comments?  As a site owner, you can fully moderate the conversation by only embedding comments from a subreddit you fully control.  You may not get quite as much data as Mozilla's solution, but in exchange you get the benefit of Reddit's 12 years of spam data that train its filters.<p>I just don't understand why more sites don't embed the reddit comments.
