I really like how Lifehacker.com (and Gawker.com) implements their comment system.

I believe, but am not certain, they use Movable Type as the platform for their blog.

What I like about their comment system is that it's a simple open text field and once you click "Share" it then asks you to register.

Question: Anyone know how to accomplish this same functionality with either Wordpress or Movable Type?
