Although I reviewed earlier Disqus commenting system and even my love for Disqus still the same, but on recommendation from one of my friend over the weekend, I did a review of a plugin name Re-Vu: Review and Comment System. The name itself sounds a combination of two things –  review and commenting which might sound at first place that yes possibly the plugin is one of the best option available among others big players, but why and what for? I opt for this plugin and ditch the ones I am using it from the long time.

Summary & Review

It’s like great using the plugin since I am getting all the things under one place, but I believe though I have been using Disqus from quite longer time plus with no direct requirement of review (as such) to be included in my current system, the plugin is of no use to me (at least at this very moment). But if you want the review and commenting feature both at one place, then this will be your perfect choice. Will say give it a try yourself, I am sure you will love it too.
