Across the blogosphere, Danny Brown wrote in September why he installed Lifefyre as a commenting system — and he wrote a month later why Disqus was installed to replace Livefyre. His readers preferred Disqus. To the non-Facebook users who read my blog, is the commenting system so important to you? Danny’s reason?
