Avoid OpenWeb if you can *OpenWeb bogs system memory * OpenWeb bogs system performance * OpenWeb makes broadband feel like dial up * On pages where OpenWeb editing is enabled, it usually requires multiple attempts to edit, or, you have to delete the comment and post it as a new one, but deleting the comment usually takes more than 1 attempt If you're considering using OpenWeb on your site, visit a busy site like Fox News and try it out on their top stories, you'll see how horrible it is. OpenWeb may be pervasive, but not sure why, there has to be better performing alternatives.

Hey OpenWeb, Hey OpenWeb, Please tell me how the below quoted comments violate ANY sort of 'community guidlines' on the Yahoo platform: "Refer to Arizona Revised Statutes 13-3841 through 13.3870.02 and 18 USC 3182." "You should look up Arizona law regarding extradidtion before complaing about a "koolaid drinking DA" and precedence. Just to make it easy: 18 USC 3841 and ARS 18-3841 through 12.2870.02 are the relevant Statutes." Please note that 'koolaid drinking...' is a quote from the post being replied to. "That is what is required under Arizona law. NYS made the mistake of trying to bully their way into getting the suspect in violation of the ARS."

Pros and Cons, mostly Pros I spend a lot of my time arguing politics online. Yes, I realize that's pathetic. Anyway, OpenWeb is my favorite comment engine so far. The inline editing and ease of following the conversations are superior to both Disqus and LiveFyre. The email links bring you straight to the relevant comment and and open editing window so that you can write your reply quickly. Selecting text brings up a pop-up menu that allows you to change font effects (bold/italic, etc), which is much better than any existing product. My only complaint is that you can't write a reply email and have it automatically post to the site. That would obviously reduce traffic on the client website so it won't be implemented by any comment engine. ever. But it would be nice.

I spend a lot of my time reading about… I spend a lot of my time reading about politics and sports online. OpenWeb is my favorite comment engine that i’ve seen so far. The user experience is awesome and offers alot of functionailities that enhance the experience for me! Much better than Disqus and other platforms i’ve seen in the past.

They need to rename the company "Closed Web." They need to rename the company "Closed Web." Their latest strategy on Yahoo News is to just reject any comment that triggers any keywords they don't like. Or if we don't name them Closed Web, we could call them Lazy Web, because they don't really do any actual moderation of chat comments. All they do is reject their "trigger words." Lol
