I'm editor of a newspaper Web site looking for a better platform for reader comments. We had for years done an in-house system that eventually started to become dated and worse than that, it slowed our load times dramatically. About a year ago we transitioned on to Topix for our commenting. But there were drawbacks to that as well - off site forums, troll patrols galore and a loss of community. So, now we're moving back to having on-site commenting and am go back and forth between IntenseDebate and Discus. Thanks for the post.

It would be great if there's a Disqus could pick up comments from Facebook which is where most of the conversations are taking place for me.

It's also

a) a great way to see a person's comments across all platforms -- get a sense of what s/he espouses, etc.
b) a way to get a sense of the "cloud" of thought. Kind of like Twitter. One comment is not too instructive, but looking at comments across a range of posts, etc., can give a great indication of zeitgeist.

I've seen the data on this and it's clearly going to get you more comments, largely because its so much easier for your readers to leave a comment and so much easier for you to reply to them

I am just doing some research before starting up my own blog and this post has been really helpful. Have others had similar increase in comments?

They don't control the deployment environments so it's never going to be one
click install until the blog platforms decide that its in their interest to
provide that

But I agree that disqus needs to get easier to install and easier to
understand

As an interested user od Disqus I have a few observations:

a) The setup of Disqus is not user friendly
b) There should be a more visual way of describing the benefits
c) What in the world keeps the Discus staff from better explaining their system to the less tech savvy?

I have been using it for a long and have found so many reasons of staying there in Disqus.. The one and most important for me is their instant replies on your posted blogs that encourages you to post as many blogs as possible...

I am convinced, but integration has not been easy for me, I've been trying to integrate disqus on my site using the general code and I've not had success yet...

First time that I met Disqus comment platform, I decided to place it on my site. I like it a lot and I think that the Disqus will become more and more popular over time.

I wouldn't like that either. The video comment feature is cool though - but I don't think I'll enable it on my site.

Final review with my biggest investor of previous year's performance
and hammering out the expectations and benchmarks for next year.

Thursday is the Day of Atonement.

Pardon me for my transgressions against you.

Back in action on Thursday night.
