Everyone needs to be making comments at every news article they find where you can sing to someone besides the choir.

This is a big switch, so there might be a bit of weirdness while all the databases update. This isn't proof of some sinister conspiracy, and it doesn't mean that the Cops Are Watching You®.
It just might take a little while for all the older comments to be imported into the new system and appear.
Here are a few relevant points about the new Livefyre commenting system and the allied My Voice Nation, a global profile system.
SocialSync:
When conversation is happening about an article on Facebook or Twitter, you can now see that conversation within the commenting thread. You can also tag and import your friends from Twitter and Facebook within the comment stream yourself.
True Real Time:
You can see who is listening to a conversation and read comments in real time, making it easier to jump right into the discussion.
Notifications:
You can choose to be alerted via email when someone replies to or likes your comment.
One Platform:
My Voice Nation is a global profile system for all Village Voice Media properties. Soon, you'll be able to follow your favorite authors and news topics, giving yourself a customized experience of VVM's sites. Starting today (Friday), your My Voice Nation profile is linked with your Livefyre account as one log-in. You won't need a separate Disqus account to comment. Your My Voice Nation is your one account for everything.
Follow Your Friends:
You'll be able to see what your friends are saying and doing on Village Voice Media publications and Voice Places now with this one account.
Easy Sign Up:
To sign up, just click "Sign in" in the new comments section. You can sign up with Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo, Google or email.

Sorry but the new comment system sucks. Go check it out on the westword.com. I can't get the new commenting to work on the mobile dolphin browser or the stock android browser. At least toke had the decency to make an announcement before flipping the switch, unlike the westword.
you did catch that this is village voice media, and not just toke? not sure if trolling or just oblivious. if you were really worried you'd be proxied anyway, i'm betting you aren't.
Well so much for tokeofthetown. I dunno about you guys but I ain't signing up for shit. Especially when the feds and le monitor this shit.
WILL I STILL BE ABLE TO POST LINKS NOBODY CLICKS !!! IF SO THEN I LIKE IT http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzJfeWvg7uw&feature=plcp THE TRUTH BEHIND WEED!!!!
Raw almost went to Livefyre, but we saw that Disqus had just as many features, and all the biggest political websites and blogs, were going to Disqus. People like it when they can comment on all the popular sites without having to login to something else...yes, Disqus has issues, but so do all the others.
