DISQUS

Lessons Learned: Testing the new Disqus comment system

  • Giannii · 3 months ago
    Looks good.
  • Daniel Ha · 3 months ago
    Big fan of your posts (and talks). And clearly I am a big fan of Disqus.

    So yes I think it's a fit. :)
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    Thanks, glad to hear it
  • theschnaz · 3 months ago
    I like Disqus too (although not as much as Daniel =))

    Replying via email is killer, you can actually have a discussion, so keep Disqus!
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    You can reply by email?? Epic!
  • theschnaz · 3 months ago
    Yea, you sure can!

    I'm writing this in Gmail now.

    That's the best feature of Disqus, via email you can actually have
    conversations.

    (You're going to get a ton of email, but that's cool, people like your blog!)

    That is amazing. It looks like Disqus has about 10X more features than
    you can find out about from their site. In need of some Whole Product
    thinking, perhaps...

    Anyway, love the email-to-comment gateway. It's genius.

    Quick question for you. How do I change the URL in my disqus profile to point to my website instead of pointing to the blog where I posted my comment.
  • SpirInk · 3 months ago
    To clarify on my last comment, for myself as the person leaving comments, I appreciate the opportunity to be able to drop by my email address to you (or to someone I wouldn't mind getting in touch with) without having to broadcast it publicly to the world at large.

    As a blogger (except I use WordPress and not Blogger), I appreciate a robust comment system that allows me to give my readers the option to give me as much or as little information about themselves as they would like and that allows me to filter my spam.

    Also, on blogs like yours where in-depth discussion seems to be imminent (that's a great thing, by the way!), perhaps a comment system that allows for threaded comments (as in, I reply to your main post in a comment and you respond to my comment directly; if you are familiar with LiveJournal, their comment system is very usable in this manner as it allows for threaded comments).

    This perhaps might make it easier to track individual conversations going on in regards to each post?

    Just some thoughts.

    But I definitely like this system better than the earlier one. :)

    Thanks!!
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    Hey twitterverse, please come test out my fancy new @disqus comment system. Pretty please?
  • jasoncrawford · 3 months ago
    Testing comment replies; no one seems to have done that yet
  • SpirInk Studio · 3 months ago
    Logged in with my Twitter account and posting a reply here.

    Is there supposed to be added functionality with using Twitter?

    What I mean is, can I respond to these posts and/or comments from my Twitter console?
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    I don't know - but please share if you figure it out :)
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    This comment is a test, it is only a test. What do you think?
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    This is another test, with Twitter intergration awesomeness. What do you think?
  • Dru Wynings · 3 months ago

  • sbergel · 3 months ago
    new comment system...mmm shiny!
  • Emeka Maduewesi · 3 months ago
    Testing. Looks good.
  • aaronklein · 3 months ago
    Love Disqus! Glad you switched.
  • BLF · 3 months ago
    Testing, testing. Is this on?
  • profeduardom · 3 months ago
    This is more than a test. I would like to know how exactly Disqus is helping you in your next post. if possible, of course :-)
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    It's one of the few changes I didn't think it made sense to split-test :)
  • mirandamarquez · 3 months ago
    Looks like it works, Eric. MM
  • timraleigh · 3 months ago
    Great blog, I have learned a lot and I love the comments, and oh ya, I like Disqus with Twitter integration and the "intergration" too.
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    :P
  • SpirInk · 3 months ago
    Ohhh I like this system a lot better as it allows me to give you information I actually want to share, but in private to you and not advertised for everyone else to see.
  • SpirInk Studio · 3 months ago
    Sorry about the multiple messages Eric. Testing out the Twitter functionality to see how it all works and how it looks like on my Twitter end. :)
  • SpirInk Studio · 3 months ago
    Trying to see what happens if someone replies back to me.
  • ayemoah · 3 months ago
    enough testing? :)
  • withdrake · 3 months ago
    Just testing, as requested. This is my first test of Disqus.
  • seanpower · 3 months ago
    We installed the same on our blog. Disque rocks :)
  • alexandregomes · 3 months ago
    I wonder how Disqus will monetize their product in the future ( I guess they skipped the customer validation phase ...)
  • Nik Bauman · 3 months ago
    I like!
  • djpolitzer · 3 months ago
    Disqus looks good Eric. I really appreciate your blog as I'm a financial services refugee transitioning to the startup world.
  • Eric Ries · 3 months ago
    Thanks!
  • cojadate · 3 months ago
    Disqus is certainly an improvement. However I think that, for popular, discussion-inducing blogs like this one, all existing commenting systems are pretty dire: http://j.mp/xK15Z
