Social Media Comments Coming to a Disqus-enabled Blog Near You!

5 March 2009 3 views View Comments

Daniel Ha, co-founder and CEO of Disqus, and Pete Cashmore, founder of social media guide Mashable, announced today a partnership between Disqus, Mashable, and comment aggregation service uberVU to enable Social Media Comments on the popular Disqus commenting system. Social Media Comments by Mashable, Disqus, & uberVU Disqus will use uberVU’s technology to scrape the Internet and pull in comments relating to posts.

According to Mashable, the services that will be accessed include Blogger, Digg, Flickr, FriendFeed, Moveable Type, Picasa, Twitter, TypePad, Vimeo, WordPress, and YouTube, with more added over time.  If a post is discussed on any of the above services, those discussions will show up in the Disqus comments of said post.

Disqus Retweet Option Additionally, users can choose to send their comments to Twitter by simply checking a box when commenting on a Disqus-enabled blog post.

The new Disqus service can be previewed exclusively at Mashable for the next two weeks, and the general release will follow soon after.

I can’t wait to see this new functionality in action.  It will certainly help consolidate, and possibly further stimulate, the conversation across the web that blog posts sometimes initiate.

Via Disqus Blog and Mashable.

    With the Twitter tie in, I believe that will help draw more comments and/or attention to a post when it is commented on. Anxious to see this in action shortly.

    When I saw this earlier today I knew this would revolutionize the way I view comments and I immediately downloaded and installed disqus to my wordpress based blog. First impression is that it looks slick to the eye, and furthermore I love being able to aggregate my comments in one place, although it did take me a few minutes to understand what was going on on my disqus home page. The web; new media; call it what you like is so much more about interacting than the old one way media and this helps us to interact.

  • Brian (author) said:

    Mark,

    I agree, Disqus makes it so much easier to keep track of most of my commenting across the web! And these new features are just going to make the experience even better.

  • virtualme83 said:

    Disqus enabled commenting allows better commenting on sites and also the commenter can track on his comment compared to other comment plugin platform.

  • Steve_Calvert said:

    For those of us not on Twitter, I wonder if there's a way to learn without too much effort these new FADs?

    Steve

  • Brian (author) said:

    What do you mean, Steve? To learn how to use the different new technologies (i.e., Twitter and other social media tools), or how to implement?

  • Steve_Calvert said:

    Kind of both, Brian. You know me, I'm old fashion and sometimes starting something that my daughters use and are comfortable with makes my wonder if I'm missing out on something useful or forget about it since it is a FAD.

    Those of you who do use Disqus, I find my replys via e-mail so I know when to go back to the Blog to read more.

    I just want to learn but be efficient at it.

    Steve

    Interesting post. I have made a twitter post about this. My friends will enjoy reading it also.

  • afallison said:

    the social revolution has finally taken over. What's the point of all the different sites if they are going to be linked together into one. My 2 cents ;)

  • Brian (author) said:

    It brings the conversation on a particular topic to a consolidated location. People can still talk about things wherever the conversation is happening. It can allow people who never frequent certain sites to see what's being said about the topic at hand

  • Diesel Sunglasses said:

    Good to know that commenting system is finally going to get advanced and more accessible as compared with what it was in past.
