- So what you are saying is that social net working sites speed the process up in regards to how fast you get to know a person and either like or dislike them?

Disqus

Started by dancameron · 12 months ago

I recently added Disqus commenting to my site. Having a service manage my comments has a lot of benefits:

Functionality - Seesmic integration is pretty cool, not like I’m expecting any video comments but it’s going be be cool when that first one is made.<b ... Continue reading »

Hi,

Do you know that coComment offers similar features as Disqus, but also:
- You and your commenters can own comments and track conversations not only on Disqus sites, but everywhere on the web.
- You can import comments to your site conversations (and also export comments from conversations on your site: so you can go out later if you want)
- Styling is much better: they offer a nice styling wizard, and you can also change the CSS.
- Very good support. They answered all my questions very quickly and also offered me to do the changes on my blog ;-)
- The comment ranking is very simple and straight forward.
- It does not have Twitter integrate (shame on them ;-)), but actually they have some RSS feeds to retreive you own comments or comments on your site that can be used with external services like tweetfeed.

- Yes, they should also think about FriendFeed aggregation. Very good point. I will drop an email to their support about this.

I'm currently preparing a new blog and I made a comparison of Disqus, IntenseDebate, coComment and Haloscan. Disqus and coComment were in the short list. I ended up with selecting coComment because of the fact that tracking conversations was not restricted to Disqus only conversations. And I do think this is not only a good service to offer to my users, but also it can bring traffic to my blog from the bigger coComment community. I might change my mind when Disqus will have a HUGE coverage of the web conversations. But I do not see this happen soon as many bloggers will probably stick to the platform commenting system (like WP, Movabletype, blogger......).

Just wanted to share with you my thought and investigation results on what is available now.

One thing I forgot to mention ;-)
With Disqus, it is possible to comment on the conversation directly on Disqus site. It might not be a problem for many site owners, but I really do not like this.
It is not just about traffic on my site, but mainly because by not coming back to my site, people will not see last posts and other stuff on my sidebar.

Hi,

I'm surprised there are no answer here.
I can see some interesting point in MntRider comments, but I would have liked to have some answers/ideas from Dancamaron on it....... As a great blogger and a happy Disqus user, I'm sure his opinion would be of great value.

Thanks

I'm just not interested in CoComment right now. I used it before but from I can see Disqus just has the most momentum.

Ok, thanks.
I though you selected Disqus after comparing it with other commenting system and found it better. So I was just interested in your opinion on this.
But I get the point.

Ive tried Disqus, IntenseDebate, coComment and Haloscan on a couple of my blogs and whilst all were functional i found disqus to be the clear winner, not only because of its features but more because my visitors prefered it which in my opinion is most important... I think disqus has better web coverage aswell... just my research results but obviously others may have different results.

Get Attorney
6 months ago

A written, legal document that authorizes another person to act for the writer of the power of attorney. The power of attorney may be narrowly defined, in which case it would be called a limited power of attorney. A power of attorney also may be limited to deciding health care issues, in which case it is called a health care power of attorney.
