Yes , out sourcing comments are beneficial for our blogs, so we should utilize them for building good links.

Yep, I don’t feel comfortable sending and storing my content on other servers. Akismet does it already, though… Does anyone know if Automattic does data mining from that information?

It’s like gmail, facebook, myspace, etc… the service is “free,” but nothing is free in life! The commercialization of private data is an attrocious invasion of privacy!

Same with you, I’d rather have direct control over my site, I hope they’d incorporate the functionalities of IntenseDebate to WordPress self-hosted blogs rather than forcing us to use the hosted one

I’d have to agree with you, I’d rather have full control of all the content on my site.

A sound business decision – indeed, and that might be the problem. And then, like gravatars, ID comments functions become a prerequisite of inclusion in the WordPress Themes Directory.

It does seem, just vaguely, a policy of locking the function and development of all things wordpress.org into a wordpress.com model, ie Automattic – or should I be less surprised…

Yes that’s it. And they’re adding additional value to one’s blog. So losing them would lead to losing your content. (Gr)Avatars ok.
