   Rumors are that API's will be out soon. They have released the API to certain developers. Have you heard anything on your end?

   I am a personally a fan of Facebook's commenting system, let's see if Google+ can top it and afterwards I'll make a decision.

   I guess we will have to wait and see how that turns out. I'm like you Hesham, prefer the WP default commenting system and the "magnificent" CommentLuv, nevertheless, I love Facebook and YouTube commenting system, not much for commenting rather than what others think about a specific YT or FB share .. some of these comments are just hilarious :)
6. Morgan says:
   Yeah I don't really know what to say on it until I actually see it. I dislike Facebook Commenting or Livefye because I really love using CommentLuv (like you), so I'm not sure I'll be a fan of the Google system. But we'll see!
7. Bishwajeet says:
   Until and unless, I see it I won't comment on the topic. But I hope it doesn't increase the webpage loading time coz already facing too much problem with the Google Plus button loading time

   I guess the built-in commenting system from WordPress is just enough. I have always considered comments as part of the content, giving away valuable content to third party is the last thing i would want to do. Whether it is Facebook or any other commenting system, if the comments are off-site, they are pretty much an asset of someone else. Yes, Facebook comments does have an impact over the social sharing. It increases the amount of likes and shares, and helps spread the content over the social web. However, when this benefit is compared to the ownership over the comments, i would much rather keep the comments as close to me as possible. Good to see Google getting into another online venture. Am pretty much sure that this is going to help Google to get more closer to the blog and the commentators.. more data and content, after all, that is the whole concept of +1. Those bloggers who will opt into this will perhaps get more visibility into this +1 network as well. For me, it will be the same dilemma, whether to go for more social sharing, or keep content in control. I might choose the later, as always. cheers!

    cant understand why google cant come up with their own idea they first copy other idea then try to be a dominated on that and last they will sue them for using their idea.

    Thanks for the heads up on this, I had not heard about the Google commenting system. I'm curious to see how it pans out. Though Google has a LOT of great tools, they have had a couple that have flopped.
12. Jane says:
    I wouldn't think about replacing the default system. But may be run Google+ commenting system along with the default Wordpress system. I can't blog without the default comment system for sure!
13. Rizwan Sultan says:
    Hey Hesham, I preferred commentluv premium plugins to my clients because it's also increase reader interest towards blog.I didn't have idea facbook commenting system and I didn't use before it I try too implement this for my client blog.Hope it will help too boost more traffic towards it.
14. Cristina says:
    Hi Hesham, This is the first time I've heard about this. I have not added anyone in Google yet because so far I only use Facebook and Twitter to get in touch with family and friends. This is interesting though so maybe when I have the time, I'll start adding people to my Google network. - Cristina
15. Julie says:
    I haven't heard about it before, but I'm looking forward to see what will be the new commenting system like. It would be really nice if not only a +1 button could be displayed...
16. Henry Sim says:
    I welcome Google+. The competition is good and it's never a good thing for a single company - be it search engine or social media - to be too strong and monopolize the market. Never good to be at their mercy, and putting our business into one basket. Diversification is a must.
17. Sara says:
    That's really nice, especially if you consider that Google+ is a better way to promote a business, thinking that is more professional than Facebook.Further is much more wise for a blogger to have many ways to support his seo strategy
18. Abe says:
    Another excellent tool from Google. It's really good to know that Google never stops providing us new things to experiment with. I just hope this tool is very easy an convenient to use.
19. Jon says:
    There is nothing impossible for Google. I hope this will not be abuse by marketers.:)
20. Jack Sander says:
    I wasn't aware of this tool lunch. From my point of view, this is a direct attack to Facebook supremacy. In addition, if Google will emphasize on the advantages of their commenting platform people will use it extensively. otherwise it will just be just another tools. I'm looking forward to seeing if bloggers will embrace it.
21. Ryan Biddulph says:
    I am getting familiar with it Hesham but so far I really like it. On a side note, a nice chunk of people add me daily. Plus grows fast. Thanks for sharing.
22. Shubham says:
    Great to see Google trying to compete with Facebook. I think Commenting on Google can be very useful for promoting business.
23. GreenLava says:
    I'm all for it if the comments got indexed by search engines just like the native WordPress or Blogger commenting systems.
24. Ray says:
    Well I can't say it doesn't surprise me any. I don't really like 3rd party comment systems that much either, but as long as one has some success with it they other is surely going to think about creating one too. If it were a total different idea and concept it might be more appealing, but unless they plan to have some amazing new features built into their comment system I will probably pass on it.
25. Trung Nguyen says:
    What??? Google has comment system like FaceBook??????? Really? Wow, this is amazing, I think it will kill Facebook comment system, you know, most of us (blogger) want to dominate Google :)
26. Nikoya says:
    I think this is great, and I must check out more details about how it works. But what about how it works solely for general users/readers? Most times I chill on google+ it seems very dead, no?
27. DiTesco says:
    Hmmm, this is the first time I am hearing about this Google+ commenting system, but I will most certainly keep an eye on it to see where it goes. I personally am like you, I don't really like other types of commenting systems. They may have some other benefits but I can also see some disadvantages. Anyway, I have to think a bit now as to what Google may be up to, should this move forward. They don't do anything that does not have a "second intention" :)
28. Samuel says:
    Just came out? We will see how it goes. I don't know how the Facebook system worked out and I am sure it did well.

      It's not out yet, the news says it will be launched soon!
