DISQUS

Dhrumil · 2 years ago

I love Disqus. It works amazingly well on our website.

Gnome · 2 years ago

What I don't like is that it doesn't let people without an account to rate other comments. Or can they?

Terry Bain · 2 years ago

Wow. This looks just exactly like something I was looking for but didn't want to attempt to build myself because, well, I can't build anything. Cool beans.

Kevin · 2 years ago

Nice, rating within comments. What else can we rate now... ;)

Carlton Bale · 2 years ago

We can rate the ratings systems!

Test comment by Stammy!

Test reply by Daniel!

Thanks for the write-up, Paul.

Seems pretty good. Not terribly keen on all the scroll bars but I guess they would disappear once you've settled it into a template. Would be interesting to see how it copes with reply after reply after reply.

Matt Przybylski · 2 years ago

testing how reply after reply looks.

John · 2 years ago

Hey Stammy!

Zach Hale · 2 years ago

I would disqus in more detail, but it seems everything has already been disqused.

Chris Marshall · 2 years ago

Well it seems pretty cool, question really is does it add that much more and/or will it just be another 'flash in the pan'?

For sites that encourage a debate and support in the comments I reckon it could work, for sites that just collect the fanboy 'Yeah Awesome' comments it wont really add much will it :-) But to be honest what could!!!!

Omer Zach · 2 years ago

At the very least, it looks nicer than the one I saw here before.

Chuck Cheeze · 2 years ago

Just testing-

Davak · 2 years ago

If you are happy and you know it, clap your hands.

Ben · 2 years ago

Definitely seems useful.

Arthus Era · 2 years ago

I'm not sure about how well I like the idea of letting someone else host my comments... out of my control. However, the advanced threading is a great plus. Your blog seems to be working great with this!
Might convert my blog with next redesign...

Daniel Ha · 2 years ago

We don't own your comments - you own them. You will be able to migrate your data out easily. We touch upon the comments to link it with all others in the network.

Interesting. I was rather hoping Disqus would completely supercede CoComment which I found woefully disappointing. This is an interesting but slightly different service and I still won't be able to track all my comments on all blogs via RSS (until every single blog in the world is Disqus-enabled).

I also use Spam Karma 2 (just so much better than Akismet) on my WordPress blog so am wary about returning to an inferior spam filtering solution.

However, despite those reservations, I've signed up to see for myself and will probably enable Disqus on my WordPress blog imminently to confuse and alienate my readers (both of them).

Daniel Ha · 2 years ago

Great, I'm all ears to hear what you'll think.

We do some fun stuff with anti-spam and have been successful so far. Let's see what you can throw at it. ;)

Wessley · 2 years ago

It looks good and doesn't affect page loading, very slashdot-esq if you know what I mean.

Paul · 2 years ago

And this is the simple JavaScript include version. I imagine the WordPress plugin version does this better.

stabani · 2 years ago

I am wondering as to how well disqus would be for spam filtering though. I'm sure they have good filtering but one of these days...

Daniel Ha · 2 years ago

I'd say it does a pretty good job, but I might be a bit bias.

We've got Akismet in the mix to lend a hand.

This looks fantastic and has just saved my life. Installing it pronto.

Redge · 2 years ago

Test 1,2 Test 1,2!

zerok · 2 years ago

Looks really nice. Although with OpenID support it would be even better ;-)

michele · 2 years ago

It definitely looks nice! Gotta try it out on my own blog to see if there a way to style them a bit. :)

Sean · 2 years ago

Future OpenID support is a must :)

Ravi · 2 years ago

Disqus looks like a great app for bloggers that get double-digit comments per post...but is there a simplified version for the rest of us?

zmatthai · 2 years ago

Giving it a test run myself.

:)

Mirza · 2 years ago

I personally kind the js-kit comments to be better

Daniel Ha · 2 years ago

Hi Mirza,

I'd love to get some of your elaborated thoughts on that one. We put out Tumblr integration yesterday if you'd like to take a look.

Like the article. Non committal works! Hey, don't blame you. We need to tread lightly with these companies who have a real service to offer. What are they up to. :)

Luke Hoersten · 2 years ago

Awesome app. This is something I've been waiting for and will help bring a lot of my friends into the blogging world. Sometimes I go to blogs and am shocked to see that my name is on the site, only to find out I commented last year. This should resolve that.

I'd like to be able to import all my previous comments before moving to this app though. Looks like they are still working on that feature.
