Blogging sometimes does not make sense if someone not gives us feedback about what we did. You don’t get any idea on how the things actually are. You will be wondering that what you are doing is either right or wrong. Commenting on blog is one of many things one can opt for as it will offer a direct influence of a visitor with the blogger.
To help you figuring out selecting the commenting system for your blog, in this article I have been sharing as well reviewing Livefyre commenting system. The commenting system is a direct rival to Disqus commenting system. It is available in both free and professional plans to suit your requirements.

Summary & Review
Livefyre is a great commenting system with an extremely strong and powerful real-time engine which comes equipped with a nice looking user interface. Livefyre is well good enough for target bunch of people as I feel not everyone looking for real-time activities as say for a new blog, which hardly make its existence in the web-o-sphere requires time to influence its visitors while overall it’s good.
