Very nice listing. I particularly like your Michelin-esqu star system, thought of course I wish that you had given ActiveGrid at least a one-start rating (maybe you could download dev.activegrid.com, try it out and give us a star on the next outing?)

Have you thought of doing something similar for Web 2.0 Blogs?

FYI, JS-Kit now provides much more than just commenting: we also offer ratings, polls, integrated comments+ratings and, most recently, our "top rated" service, which makes static sites instantly more dynamic. Lots more to come. Check us out!
