Let's Disqus!

Just a little notice to say that i have enabled Disqus on my blog. It’s a pretty clever tool that links up comments on blogs all over the Internet. When you hover over the picture of somebody who has commented on my blog, you also see some of the comments they have left on other blogs. You might also see their Twitter status, or get a link to their Flickr account, their Delicious account, their Facebook.

Here’s an example of how it can look:

Disqus

It’s a really neat way of bringing the web closer together. For me it’s also a great advantage in that it immediately gave me nested comments and the ability to send email replies to people who have commented. I thought i was going to have to make some fairly hefty changes to my WordPress theme in order to enable nested comments, but it turns out Disqus can just do it all for me!

Oh yes, you also get to rate other people’s comments up or down, youtube-stylee! ;)

Disqus is particularly good in that it works across multiple blogging platforms. So i installed the WordPress plugin, but there are also plugins for Blogger, Moveable Type, Tumblr and more. Wouldn’t it be great if LiveJournal would take it up? :)

Thank you to ChrisMDP for finding Disqus and telling me about it! :)

  1. DISQUS is cool…but it takes part of the functionality out of your control and puts it in the control of another site! I liked your icons that showed location, browser, and operating system. I also liked how you had OpenID integration set up.

  2. It's true, i miss those little icons too.You can sign up to Disqus with OpenID, but yeah it's a shame that it doesn't allow you to just comment using OpenID without registering on Disqus.I'll see how it goes. I'm kind of hoping that Disqus will get wider acceptance across more blogs because i think it can be really powerful.

  3. Thanks Gianii, nice to have you visit! :)As we were discussing above, is there any plan to enable OpenID commenting without having to register on Disqus?

  4. Hi Aimee -Just wandered to the site. We do have plans for OpenID actually, and it's been a long time coming. We do want to get this right and I can see where you're coming from.– Daniel @ Disqus

  5. Thanks Daniel. I fully support you and encourage you in the plans to enable OpenID commenting! That will make Disqus truly brilliant, in my opinion! :)

  6. I also installed disqus plugin into my blog and I'm really amazed with the things it can do, I also love receiving video comments.. although it needs a little work to be done, I'm always interested to see someone in flesh talking to me..

  7. If you have a job its easy for you to avail loans, since it assumes that you can pay it back. But hot about if you are unemployed? We all know that being unemployed is never fun. The numbers of the unemployed are growing all over the world, from New Jersey to Jerusalem to Hong Kong, and many people could use a payday cash advance loan to float them during lean times. This usually applies to our newly graduates or recently lay-off workers. The job search for many will continue, as there are few, if any, free lunches to be had; yet there are whispers of economic recovery beginning to circulate. The recession has taken a heavy toll so far, but the world economy is said to be starting to show signs of recovery. Hopefully work will be returning sooner rather than later. Many desire debt relief for the unemployed. Let’s try to our very best to recover our economy back to its solidity and hope for the best that we’re going to make it.

  8. Discus Forum will compliment its commenting system. This is a popular platform for users to air their views and thoughts online and interact with the other forum users.

  9. Disqus now brings us the ability to comment using your Twitter account. You don’t have to give up your actual Twitter credentials since Disqus takes advantage of Twitter’s support.
