Recently a bug appeared on this site in IE8. Pages would load but the JavaScript code from IntenseDebate.com that runs the comments system for the site would just hang. I tweeted about the bug and got replies straight back from the IntenseDebate guys offering help. They spent time looking at it and after a few email exchanges we were all still scratching our heads. Looking at the problem again with fresh eyes a few days later I noticed that the JavaScript for the AddThis social networking buttons on my site might be interfering with the IntenseDebate code loading. I tweeted my thoughts and, again, got quick replies from the AddThis guys. They had a look and within hours I had an email from them with a fix. Well, what can you say, for free online services I reckon that's pretty amazing support. So a big thank you to AddThis and IntenseDebate!
