The 3 biggest problems with traditional blog comment services
Ghost Town
Let’s be honest: too many blog comment sections sit empty. And empty blog comment sections scare off potential commenters.
Blotter is better: Replace empty blog comments by jumpstarting the convo on Twitter and connecting the threads back to your blog post.
Spam City
You want to encourage real discussion. But often your comments are just spam — drowning out the authentic human voices and undermining any sense of community.
Blotter is better: You’ll get more authentic comments and less spam. Soon Blotter will provide advanced moderation tools, too.
Silent But Deadly
Commenters migrated from blog comment sections to networks like Twitter. Why? Because they get distribution and visibility.
Blotter is better: You get the best of both worlds. Twitter distribution and visibility for your commenters, plus social proof on your posts and a sense of community.
Blotter converts your Twitter engagement to a sense of community on your blog + social proof for each post
Let’s face it — blog comments moved to Twitter. With Blotter, they’re back on your blog too.
Blotter replaces your traditional blog comment system and connects your blog post to Twitter so that blog comments appear as replies on Twitter, and replies on Twitter appear as blog comments.

How Blotter Works: Conversations Connect Your Blog With Twitter
To install Blotter, add just one plugin or JavaScript snippet to your blog. Blotter works with WordPress, Gatsby, Next.js, or any other blog that accepts a custom JS snippet.
Blotter attaches one or more Twitter threads to each of your blog posts as “Conversations”. Comments on your blog and replies on Twitter stay synced, so readers can join the conversation from either platform. You can learn more about how Blotter intelligently connects your Twitter threads to the correct blog post.
You get a sense of community and social proof on your blog, an SEO boost, plus the distribution and network effects of Twitter.
