Have you checked with Disqus if they offer a version without ads? Other commenting systems are IntenseDebate, LiveFyre or even Facebook (but commenters will need an account).

I wasn't aware of BlazeBlogger. Thanks for pointing it out!

Your advice is good but I think there is a need to actually own your web address. You can't own a Facebook URL or sub domain on Tumblr.

Your username does not belong to you:

I'd love to use my Google Profile with a custom domain name. Could be part of Google Apps or simply work like setting up Blogger on your domain.

Well, this is the first step. They have only announced to apply for this internationalized country code top-level domain today. The actual domain registration will probably start mid next year.

Thanks TechCrunch for covering the domain industry regularly. It's an important part of the internet infrastructure and certainly deserves coverage on the major tech blogs.

I'm working in the domain registrar business since 2002 now and despite the promising figures in Verisign's report there are some fundamental problems in our industry. First of all, the lack of innovation from both registries and registrars. Most of their offerings are targeted at the secondary market, domainers and brand owners instead of the actual internet user. Don't get me wrong, it's an important part of the domain eco-system but in my opinion they simply tend to forget the end user. Secondly, the dodgy practices of some registrars like selling lists of deleted domains or front-running which has caused mistrust and confusion amongst many users in the past few years. I don't know how many people I've seen on Twitter asking for a registrar they can trust. And last but not least the horrible user experience that most sites related to the domain industry offer. It seems like they all missed how the web has evolved in the last couple of years while domain tasting and parking filled their pockets.

But there is also hope. The recently launched .TEL extension and services like http://chi.mp, http://hover.com or our http://iwantmyname.com show that there are at least some companies who think about how you can connect Web 2.0 technologies with domain names. Keep up the good work guys!

Any plans of offering this under username.friendfeed.com with CNAME functionality so you can point it to a custom domain? Like Robert Scoble said it looks very much like Tumblr and could serve as a stream of all your friends updates or your own lifestream.
