One of the biggest topics in the tech blogosphere at the beginning of this year was 'comment fragmentation.' With services like FriendFeed, SocialMedian, Digg, Reddit, and others often creating unconnected conversations around a single blog post, many bloggers felt that they had lost control of their content and the conversation around it. Artiklz, which launched its private alpha test today, wants to put an end to this discussion. The company aggregates comments from a wide range of external sources, including FriendFeed, Digg, Mixx, Reddit, Yahoo Buzz, and Delicious, with more to follow very soon.
Automattic, the company behind the popular blogging platform Wordpress, has acquired IntenseDebate, a blog commenting plugin that works on almost every blogging platform.

Automattic promises that IntenseDebate will remain platform agnostic, just like Aksimet, Automattic's comment spam blocker.
