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.

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.

OUTRAGEOUS AND ILL-JUDGED CENSORSHIP AOL News contained a piece about elderly people being alone and lonely at Christmas, and suggesting ways to help them.

OpenWeb's bots would obviously prefer that elderly people remain lonely - obviously programmed by a very mean-spirited geek.
