What concerns me though as a blogger is that then the content resides on SezWho's servers and it would seem that could hurt my Google PR. I’m a fan of SezWho, I like how it works on CrunchGear.

The design can be fixed based on the theme - that is what the themes are for. The main issue especially for the professional blogs is that they want to maintain the ownership of their data and add services they like on top of it...They want to make sure that their existing applets/infrastructure like recent comments etc. still work. Adding a system like Disqus doesn't really work for these sites because their comment data is going to a different site that competes with them for page views. Having said that I do agree that Disqus is a good hobby system. The only thing I don't really like their insistence on having the exact same layout on all sites regardless of the theme. Would like to see some more customizability there. #6, #13

For one, it rarely gets used, totally defeating the point of reputation. Secondly, it is not appealing at all to the eye. The design is bad. Lastly, their site is woefully behind when it comes to usability and features. I would encourage Jeremy to look at prior user cases before b5 gets involved with them. Just ask Read/Write Web why they took it down after a few weeks of using it... The value provided by SezWho to publishers is negligible.

And for a widget company releasing their first tool, that's critical. They'll certainly use that data and reach to build even bigger and better tools going forward. The comment rating tool is just Step 1 for them.
