I just found Linebuzz, and I think it's great. I would love for it to be more customizable:
- I'd like to be able to have it open to the side of my post as opposed to over or below it,
- I'd like to be able to change the colors, embed images in the background etc.
- I'd like to be able to set attributes and format the appearance of the widget itself, as well as the comment boxes.
Don't get me wrong, this product is sheer genius, but I think it would be better the more tweakable it is. Additionally, you will be able to build a much bigger network of people who care and use it that way, fwiw.
