Disqus: The Official Blog - Disqus Comments: Translated in over 40 languages
I really think trackbacks should be left to the blog platform itself. I still have my trackbacks on but all comments directed at DISQUS. (In fact, I don't have to import my comments since I can still show the old comments while the new comments are DISQUS already.) It's more of code positioning. We can leave trackbacks on (and old comments to show) while having all new comments powered by DISQUS.
I don't know, just my PoV, DISQUS must not shoulder trackbacks. Or at least delay it for at least 8 months, let's do some extensive, heavy load testing first, and lay down exactly why DISQUS should handle trackbacks.
Just my PoV. (And I don't see "DISQUS-sion" in trackbacks.)
Right now, it's just too early. I'd rather see more features comment-wise than see trackback implemented and move some features for later. I mean, the weight. How many still cares about trackback ;) I do, but I can live without it, more DISQUS comment features first (frontend and backend).
But if it's implemented, I will use it definitely, especially for my Blogger/BlogSPot hosted blogs :p hehehehe.
But I agree, of course. Disqus is beta, after all.
If Disqus starts to implement Trackback, it will be the death of Web 1.0 service: Haloscan. In fact, Haloscan is being hurt already by "Outbrain" in the Blogpost-Rating space. Disqus will do the final blow with Trackback support.
Hint: Blogger/BlogSpot lack of Trackbacks ;)
