Sam Harrelson's Comment Forum: Disqus Amongst Ourselves

  • TrishaLyn · 1 year ago
    I'm considering throwing it up on trishalyn.com or maybe trying it out on my other site that's more for fun first. I don't see any downsides but I only see a few obvious upsides too.

    Disqus is pretty sweet, Sam, and you've definitely made a good choice in using it. I've got a blog launching in the next month or so that will probably use Disqus.

    I wish I'd had Disqus when I started blogging in '04. The hours of frustration with spam and trying to think of a way to increase community would have been saved!

    Totally agree. They seem to have taken the best aspects of all commenting systems and put them in one package.

    i think the best part is being able to reply from email like I'm doing
    now :)

    Oh, I did not know this was possible! I'm trying it now...hopefully I don't
    break your blog.

    Haha, nevermind -- looks like it actually worked.

    I didn't know that was possible. How do you do it? I replied to the notification Disqus sent me, but the comment didn't post.

    You're not kidding Sam.

    Though I do think maybe we weren't ready for this even a year or two ago. It's a pretty radical shift.

    And "giddy" is the perfect word. I was like a little schoolgirl.

    Sam,

    To be honest the first time I saw it on your blog, I was a little turned off. But I can clearly see why you felt in love with it.... I only installed it this morning, but am already love it. The feature that allows you to reply to comments is the best thing so far.

    I just hope it will stay clean from spam monkeys.

    How come your styles are so nice and clean??? I ma getting jealous. Any help to integrate it nicer into my team would be appreciated.
