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.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.
