Reblog: Comments Can Be Blog Posts

Started by Daniel Ha · 10 months ago

Comments Can Be Blog Posts
We think so too.
A lot of great conversation goes on in comments that shouldn’t be stuck behind the fold. Publishing these back to traditional blogs is a great way to bring attention to great content. It needs to happen more often.
That’s why ... Continue reading »

    Is there an easy way for the person who wrote the original comment to get notification that their comment was reblogged
  • ikirigin

    Yah! They should get an email, just like other comments & replies. Then they should be able to reply via email and make a comment on the reblog. The whole blog content should get in the email, which I suppose complicates matters because things like this video won't show up.

    Awesome feature.

    Great idea! Too often I'll start to respond to a post, and then think "I want this on my blog!". This will likely have me mining disqus a bit more now!

    The reblogging feature does not seem to work with Tumblr.

    I always get an internal error.

    Is it an internal error from Disqus or Tumblr?
  • FloMo1981

    10 months ago

    Seems to be an internal error from Disqus. When I try to add my Tumblr Account to the reblog settings, it says Internal error and I have the option to save again or cancel (if I remember correctly).

    When I click on repost within the comments section and try to insert my account details there, a page shows up, which says something like 'An error has occured. It's not your fault, we are working on it.'

    I saw this implemented while reading a comment from our blog and quickly checked here. Awesome feature!!

    (b2evolution support please hehe :p - btw, if it's using the common XML-RPC, b2evo uses it also, it can also use MT and WP's ;) )

    I wish i could find a Disqus plugin for b2evolution :)
  • JC John (ᜑᜓᜏᜈ᜔/謝施洗)

    10 months ago

    ooh, another blogger who is a b2evolution'er.

    Yah, it's better to have a plugin than the JavaScript method. it will also help in increasing the adaptation of Disqus - it's always raised = plug-n-play + SEO-indexing of comments.

    I hope the Disqus team migrated their latest WP plugin to b2evo, since the two are closely related than MT, Drupal, and Typepad :p

    Another b2evolution user here :)
    I really would like a plugin.
    But anyone now how to integrate that Javascript thing in b2evo? The templates are kind of weird.
  • Daniel Ha

    I'm not familiar with b2evo myself. Hopefully someone else out there
    does.
  • Ryo

    9 months ago

    I did it. Although I have some problems, it works. The templates are weird in b2evo.
    Still, a plugin would be much better, especially for search engines.

  • Joe Lazarus

    Nice work guys... this is a great feature. Like Bijan, I'd like an email notification option. Also, I still think the attribution link should point to the commenter's site by default, not their Disqus profile. Links are the currency of the web. The commenter should be rewarded with some link love. Sure, the person reblogging can edit the link if they want, but I doubt anyone will do that. Lastly, why don't I see a reblog option on the comment for this post?
  • Daniel Ha

    10 months ago

    While reblog is live on Disqus, we are still waiting to update the WordPress plugin that features the option. It'll be here shortly.

    Le sigh, per my comment on Fred's original post, there's more to this than just reblogging. Reblogging takes context and moves it, which doesn't help anyone since very, very few comments are self-contained. It's better than nothing, but that's about it.

    Hopefully see you guys at BWE.
  • Daniel Ha

    10 months ago

    I'm looking forward to seeing how people reblog comments. I'm positive we'll have a better idea on where to take it from there.

    But for now, just taking experimental steps. That's the beauty of the web. We can do that and still make quick improvements.

    cool feature. One suggestion: Can we have the link to Devin's blog instead of his Disqus profile in the line "Originally posted as a comment by Devin on A VC using Disqus."
  • Daniel Ha

    You can change the text or link to anything you'd like when you click
    reblog.

  • davidakachaos

    A suggestion for Disqus; emoticons! Maybe this has been suggested before, and maybe some of you don't like it, but I'm a fan of emoticons in comments and posts. Just to set the mood of a line of comment. I think it must be easy to implement But as I said; it's a suggestion...
    [edit]
    Never mind, found were I needed to post this :$
  • davidclifford

    Like your suggestion. Emoticons is great! People are now using smiley in most of their comments. Hope disqus will have this feature soon.

    Just a quick note that if you're using Drupal, Disqus Reblogging works if you have the Blog API module enabled.

    what article ?
  • Michael

    7 months ago

    ok - I'll bare myself as a techno dumby - so here goes.
    I followed the Disqus Install instructions (twice) to edit my Blogger template to 'put Disqus on my site' but saw no physical difference at the site after I ran a test comment to one of my blog posts.
    From the perspective of knowing zilch about Disqus prior to doing this it appeared to me that I spent most of my time setting up yet another social networking membership site at my new Disqus membership page.
    What am I missing?

    Michael,

    Could you email your template to help@disqus.com so I can see what is going on. It should be a quick setup on blogger.

    This will be great for the blog owners who may run out of topics to write....a chance take a breather. It will encourage guest to post blogs instead of just using the originating blog site as a platform to post comments.
  • Maximista

    I like this feature. I often leave a comment somewhere and wish that I had just posted that on my blog, instead.

    Anyway, I came across this feature a few weeks ago, but forgot how it worked. I'm testing this now to find out. Hopefully, reBlog is enabled right now.

    This reblogged features is great! Probably a counter should be added so that the original commenter will know how many times it has been reblogged.

  • jonaw

    Reblogged features are not commonly seen and thus, I felt that it's certainly a brilliant idea. Giving people a chance to reblog comments that are superb and original commenter will also gain popularity in the mean time.

    As what most commenters have commented, I believed there are more to be added on this reblogged features to further enhance the usability.
  • ryanlow

    I am glad to see that Disqus is working on unfolding features that users are asking for. Reblogged features are a relieved for all commenters as their comments will not be just it. Now they might become a famous commenter , just like a famous blogger.
  • Property Singapore

    I have not try out the reblogged features.It's relatively new to me. My comment to this reblog feature is that it is awesome.However, I have read through the article and it states that "we can publish a quotation of the comment to our blog". Which means we are not able to blog the whole comment ?
  • chrisgrogan

    It looks like Tumblr and wordpress has greater advantages in Disqus as most of the features are created mostly for their users.
