Could you please expand upon the implications of this? It is unclear to me whether this is positive or negative aspect for the different entities involved: the commenting apps, Quantcast and the website they are embedded on.
I originally took the Quantcast code off my site b/c it slowed things down and despite having fairly accurate counts, it had skewed demographics. I didn't want to encourage them, so I took off the script. However, my use of IntenseDebate meant that I was still using it.
I don't think IntenseDebate is doing anything wrong, but I would like an opt-out.
