Comments now powered by Disqus
Cool Stuff

This has got to be the best implementation of web 2.0 and social media since MTV showed music videos. Oh wait, that was WAY before web 2.0, but you get the idea right!?

I was looking at the new FaceBook Connect – after listening to Leo Leporte and Amber McArthur – trying to figure out the best way to integrate FaceBook Connect with my blog. After some trial and error, I remembered Leo had been using Disqus for quite some time now. As I kick myself for not signing up with Disqus before now, I came to realize how simplified Disqus makes posting comments to blogs. Better yet, all your comments and your freinds comments are all tracked in one location – your Disqus profile page.

I’ve seen sites like TechCrunch using FaceBook connect, and that was what I originally was after when looking to integrate FaceBook into the comments. I have found I prefer the Disqus implementation much better.

To get a good comparison, take a look at the two examples I have below … and when you’re at Leo’s page hover your mouse over the avatars to see what a powerful tool Disqus can be.

TechCrunch comment page (Facebook Connect option)

Leo Leporte’s commnet page (using Disqus & FaceBook Connect)

One thing I have noticed after implementing Disqus is all my previous comments have disappeared. I’m sure it’s due to the theme I am using, but still annoying.

Enjoy … Scott

  • Disqus just keeps getting better and better !
  • This is a good news for many bloggers on Wordpress platform..
  • That usually happens with Disqus, it is using a completely separate engine.
  • I have since learned it was the way I installed it. There is an option to import existing comments. I can still do so, but I need to back up the database first in case anything goes wrong. ... Scott
  • would you tell me what is disqus power if it's compared to other comment engine.
    thanks.
  • It has a built-in spam filter and the visitors have a central location where they can keep track of blog comments on all sites using the Disqus platform. I also like the threaded reply capabilitiy.

    The integration of Facebook connect and recently Friend Feed has been added as well. You can also record video comments.

    Another powerful aspect is the social networking available through the Disqus system.

    Disqus, in my opinion is the future of commenting. It simplifies that work of the webmaster and makes everything much much simpler.
  • I totally agree ... I think it has a clean look too. I also like the ability for users to vote the comments up or down which is something I think is underutilized.
  • this comment system is pretty awesome actually

    my database went crazy when i started my disqus blog. the tables were rewritten incorrectly or something. Had to redo everything. Fortunately it wasn't a big success yet. It is now though ;)

    By using your Facebook account you can broadcast your comments in your Facebook News Feed, or broadcast your comments as tweets with your Twitter account.. This is really an advantage..

    I now actually get angry when blogs don’t have this. They have really made blog conversation what it always should have been. I would guess my commenting is up 800% since disqus has become popular on blogs that I read.
  • Excellent blog, thanks for the share. I'll be a regular viewer
  • Great, facebook connect is working really good on blogs.
  • darekjones
    DISQUS stores the comments in its own server. So, wouldn't that create a possibility of loosing your comments if any thing goes wrong with DISQUS server?
    Think about it!

  • nice post, thanks for the share
  • Yes, I agree web 2.0 has been changing the whole face of the internet =] This disqus technology has really helped out alot as well in creating massive backlinks to your websites and such.
  • Disqus provides you with a better way of attracting blog readers to start thread conversations in blog posts. It enables the post to be more interactive and manageable and it presents blog comments in a nicer, web 2.0ish way.

  • Hi! I'm Jake Bunce, the manager of Viettel ISP, and I think your post is awesome. It's hard to find quality information like this, I'm glad i found this, thanks for the valuable information.
    But I have a suggestion: In my opinion the posts font and size is not the best typo for read. It is very uncomfortable.
    Anyway, good work!
  • I'ts a very good idea to integrate your facebook account with your blog. To me i think it's even better to integrate video clips on your blog. Trust me, video always attract the initial attention rather than words.
  • Disqus is the best comment form plugins for wp.
  • its gona be fraking sweet - web 2.0 is really tking off. when will it end. I dunno but its kewl
  • DISQUS is excellent, it's very easy to use and makes commenting less time consuming. I'm considering implementing it on my blog as well.

  • I'm perplexed about Disqus!
    If you go to logo design main Discus page--he definitely posted a comment here with his link--He did the same thing at my site
    His comment is still at my site, but at your site it's gone--
    Did you do that?
    Remove his comment?
    Or do you think it was Disqus?
    Here's his link and if you scroll down a little, you'll see your site URL--

  • One of the main advantages Disqus for me is; it has is the ability for users to login with Facebook Connect where the comments also appear in the commentators newsfeed, which has the capacity to go viral.
  • Hey, any chance a comment engine like Disqus can get abused? Someone mentioned it has built-in spam filter - how does that work?
  • Disqus is good place to implement blog comment and it's help to prevent comment spam anyway
  • do you participate in link exchange programs?
