I use Mike Bostock's awesome bl.ocks.org service that's very similar.

It's great for gists with html/js that you want people to preview, as in: http://bl.ocks.org/4331769

It is heavly inspired by gist.io, the problem is that since i have not registered with their api i am over the limit didn't think about that when submitting - sorry :-(
I did this a few months ago for GAE-Boilerplate: http://stackgeek.com/. Runs on GAE under Python.

I'm using Disqus for comments, but have considered switching to Github's comment API for gists for the post comments.

A friend of mine pointed out that the gists themselves can serve as a 'backup' blog post.
