New plugins & comment policy
Just dropped in two new plugins, along with the WordPress 2.8.1 update: one to push new post notifications out into the Twitter-stream, and one to facilitate/enable folks to login using their Twitter, Facebook, Blogger, OpenID, Google, or Yahoo accounts when they want to post comments.
It’s not so much that I’m against anonymous comments (although I do prefer names to be associated with opinions), it’s more that I think it’s a pretty cool plugin because it allows accounts/userids/passwords that folks already have to be leveraged in another place/way. We’ll see how it works out…

What plugin are you using for the comment login? I’m already using Twitter Tools. Each time I have tried an OpenID plugin the results have been less than desirable.
I’m using the JanRain RPX Authentication plugin. So far it looks pretty slick, and it dropped in with very little muss or fuss.
