Also got to it via entrecard and it was total failure. During the 3 days I left it, I had downtime almost everyday because of it.
It wasn’t too productive either, only got comments that weren’t readable from Indian dudes.

IntenseDebate continues to operate on other blog platforms, and is also slowly having its technology incorporated into WordPress itself.

No IntenseDebate technology has been incorporated into WordPress to date. WordPress’ threaded/paged comments system was developed independently. I can’t speak to what IndenseDebate technology Automattic plans on open sourcing (I’m independent from Automattic), but as a lead developer on WordPress I’d be resistant to integrating IntenseDebate with WordPress core. The way it works now is great — comments go to IntenseDebate as well as the local WordPress install. IntenseDebate could go away tomorrow and your WordPress comments would remain. And that’s a pure plugin implementation. I see it more as a symbiotic relationship than one of consolidation.

Chris – any logo that doesn’t look so amateur, it’s a real turn-off. Even something very simple, whipped up in Photoshop. Just don’t let the same guy do it.

As for the name , if you have the space to maneuver, it might be worth considering a name without a hyphen – hyphens look unprofessional, suggesting that a website couldn’t afford a domain without one. Also, it means you are hemorrhaging traffic to jskit.com.

The JS in js-kit only appeals to coders, to everyone else it means nothing. SezWho is not a great name but it’s a lot better than JS-Kit.

Personally, I would go out and invest in a new, extremely good domain name because, in the upcoming battle, IntenseDebate and Disqus have a lot of advantages. A really smart name could make all the difference.

I agree, I had SezWho on my blog for a little while but it just didnt to much for me. I like the concept, but it just doesnt seem to have any traction.

I agree, it’s a poor logo. But it is recognizable. the brand is liked. Why change it to make it look like something else, someone else?

Follow up from the first post

Make a PR event out of it and have the community design your new logo like DataPortability did.

You pick the logo you like the best and you get a ton of press with it.

JS-Kit has the worst logo in history… but at least it’s honest. You look at that logo and you are thinking, “wow, i’m in for a real crap product here”. And you’d be right. Fixing their logo would only be putting lipstick on a pig.

JS-Kit will be dead within 400 days. How can you get folks to charge for a service that will be free. They are an appendage.

Many, many designers, Chris! We already recommended Davíd Airey last year – I bet you can still get him, although I am sure he is overbooked now. He is brilliant. He can definitely design a logo that will make up for the name of the brand. I actually like it – it’s memorable, simple, and it sounds right – although the “JS” is a bit obscure: what does it stand for? is the question. If you manage to send this message across to the public, you’ll do just fine.
