This is me - testing the Disqus integration. My biggest concern is longevity - I appreciate that the network effects of Disqus will make my comments easier to use for others; but I am also depending upon Disqus to (1) remain free and (2) persist.
I guess if they go down I could export the comments. It really comes down to data portability - I would happily use Disqus everywhere if I could (a) move all my existing Wordpress comments to Disqus retroactively (as in my personal blog) and then move back from Disqus to Wordpress if I ever desired.
Disqus would then need to keep me by being the best at what they do, not because my data is stuck on their servers.

Companies such as Disqus should win my business through winning, not through holding on to my data.
