JS-KIT Acquires Blog Comment System Haloscan

By Joseph Weisenthal - Tue 08 Jul 2008 10:25 AM PST

JS-KIT, a provider of widgets and services for blogs, has acquired Haloscan, the old commenting platform, often seen on blogspot-hosted blogs, according to CenterNetworks and other reports. Deal terms are not being disclosed. JS-KIT CEO said the company has 500,000 active blog installations, and is in the process of swapping out the current installations with JS-KIT-branded ones, according to the report. There’s something of a cottage industry forming around blog comments right now, with a lot of interest in companies like SezWho and Disqus.

    Dear fellow Hillary Supporters!

    Hillary’s campaign has made sure that no women running for president will ever be seen the same again.

    I have started an art based campaign to help rid Hillary of her Campaign debt and represent her legacy on the web and as part of the DNCC. Please help me help Hillary and at the same time, help yourself to one of these historic works of art!

    I’ve also extended Hillary’s run for president to included other great women past and present who represent the values I believe Hillary stands for!

    20% of all profits from Poster and Post Card sales are donated to Hillary’s Campaign.

    My goal is to raise my full contribution limit! $4,600.00 ($479.50 so far) as soon as possible.

    Visit my site today!
