Please Disqus

by Will Wilkinson on June 6, 2008

I’m trying out the Disqus comment system. Please try it and tell me what you think of it. Perhaps some of you can start fighting with each other, so we can see how the threading works…

    I think the new comment system is horrible! Furthermore, here is another sentence!

    Oh wait I do have a substantive comment: it requires you to enter a valid URL? That shouldn't be necessary.

    It won't work without a URL?
  • Well, I didn't enter the URL for that one, and it worked fine.

    Trying again with Firefox...

    Aha-- oldish version (v6.0) of Internet Explorer is the culprit.

    Not ideal necessarily, but not a huge deal maybe.

    FIRST!

    Guess this was the first time that's ever been a reasonable comment.
  • none
    Oh irony...I didn't see that there were five other comments. *shame*
  • Yeah, having comment box before the comments like that is confusing. I've changed that.

    This ... is an EX ... comment.
  • I use it at http://mathoda.com and am pleased with Disqus. It's particularly nice once you have an identity on it, since you can get an RSS feed of all responses to comments. It also feeds into Friendfeed, and allows Seesmic powered video comments. The problems with it are that it isn't picked up by search engines yet (since it's javascript code inserted), it doesn't handle trackbacks yet, and you can't be convert over comment threads on older posts yet. Happily they are working on all these problems...
  • I think new comment systems violate Directive 10-289...

    (Video comments? That seems a bit excessive.)
  • n. B.: Twice now a "Stack Overflow" window has randomly popped up on my screen. I think that's you. Three times. Post-posting editing is nice!
  • Ditto the problem with stack overflow alert dialogs (at line 1632) with IE 7

    I'm reading Predictably Irrational right now and just read your review of it here. Your analysis is spot on! Great stuff, and exactly what I think about the book.
  • Ceci n'est pas un comment
  • k3nt
    I tried to make mine a reply to an earlier comment of Will's, but I can't see in what way it did that.

  • IE does not like this system. It is very slow.
  • W00t! w00t!

    It does seem a bit much, but keep it, maybe we'll start enjoying it after a while.

    Smiley Face check! :) :P
  • I heartily object to the comment system! Not Will's actually, but Kip's.
  • Seesmic video reply from Disqus.
  • It would be more useful with sound, I'm afraid.
  • Seesmic video reply from Disqus.
  • I wonder what video comments trolls will be like... :)
