I don't get it, why are they using services like IntenseDebate and Disquis? those systems allow visitors to comment using their Facebook, Gmail etc info to register. What's in it for the blog owner? If you use WordPress' own comments you can make them register and you have their email address to market to.

I must be missing something.
