So, I love Disqus, but I've noticed an issue when it's integrated with Zemanta (which I also love).

Take a look at my http://jer979.disqus.com/ page

the Zemanta code seems to get pulled into the comment thread.

Just an observation. A little unsightly.

When I first saw the Disqused I loved it. I placed it on my web site and I must say that it is very good. A lot of options and very easy to install.

yeah, I noticed. But, hey, it's your blog -- I don't have to read it if I don't like it.

If i may i think the most important feature is missing: installing in 2 clicks without code manipulation for Typepad. i don t know how many users know how to use advanced templates there, but i think it is a very little minority. i would love to use Disqus but i could not deal with that. so i went to intensedebate that has solved that issue pretty nicely

Domain mapping for the comment blog is something I am hugely into and have
been asking for as well

I also want to be able to put my ³look and feel² template on it

If I could get all of those things, it would be linked to off of my avc.com
front page (like I just did with my tumblog)

tell me about itryan. i totally agree with you. FriendFeed can do that with the new disqus API, they just need to make it a priority. i hope they will.

i went to google and used their webmaster tools to tell them about the new ownership and make sure they are crawling the new domain. but beyond that, i don't think we did much. I am so happy that avc is not getting blocked anymore. one less thing i need to worry about!

Daniel, thx for the comments back. I posted in the forum here (
http://disqus.disqus.com/mi...
a while back but am gettin' no love over there. Any chance I can get some
help migrating old comments? Can you point me to instructions on how to do
this?

This is a very impressive long list of improvements for one (still fairly early) release. Great job, Disqus.

I guess the only thing i'm not seeing immediately is that it might make some feel better to have the comments page under their own domain, eradicating the need for http://avc.disqus.com/, for example (and instead expecting to see that info under avc.com's WP admin control panel, if he were on WP). BUT it is entirely possible I'm not understanding and this release does take care of that, as i haven't looked closely yet.

Daniel- next up I'd suggest to greatly promote the voting feature. I wrote details on this and will email them along. I think that part would make this offering hugely more social, fun, higher-quality......

what is the search-friendly piece? the comments dont look like they show up in the source for this page - is it just that they show up over on disqus?

come on-- the dude makes it clear that this blog is about a few subjects, chief one being his investment interests. His current investments talk would seem to be expected.

I suppose that this post is indeed the pluggiest of his recent 'plugs'. But even so I think it's pretty far from shameless. Does a great job of summarizing the service's new features in a much more efficient way for me than going to those company's blogs.

btw, i first learned of this product release via techcrunch and a couple other blogs, but skipped their coverage to come here to get the scoop, because even though Fred is obviously biased here, I knew he'd give a concise and clear description of the services. AND he usually even throws in negatives too that you'd never see if this was just a sales pitch. Often even publicly pressures his PortCos to add features when he sees something lacking.

(man, this sounds like a plug for Fred!)

Indeed it would be. I guess that's something tumblr would have to do or at least have to help do

NICCAI — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 20:13:12 -0000

Yes, you're right, but the notion of pulling in the comments from
disqus on tumblr's server side versus onload via js would be a
compelling integration point.

Your website is one of a few that we noticed having issues with the process. We'll contact you as soon as it is resolved.

We can better support you on forum.

To answer your question, after unpackaging the plugin, you should click "Install" under Comments > Disqus.

Yeah I saw all of them. I wish there was a way to grab all the links from techmeme and put them at the end of my post
