You might have noticed the cool commenting system I’m using on this blog. At MIX Online, here at Microsoft, we’ve developed a new prototype called Incarnate. Incarnate is a system that allows readers of a blog to use their already-existing avatars from common social-networking sites such as Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, and XBox Live.
Incarnate Website Alpha
Let the visitors to your blog use the avatars they already have. With Incarnate, users don’t need to upload a new avatar every time they want to drop a note.
Instead, download and install Incarnate.
Encourage your users to communicate with you.

This is a test comment left via the new Incarnate UI. We still have a little way to go, but we’re getting there and should roll out with a great new product very soon.

Giving Incarnate a try. Interesting twist to the gravatar concept. Excellent!
