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

March 5th, 2009 | Miscellaneous, Off Topic, Technology

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.

  • Hi, I really like your site, nice posts! I would like to give you a free flash banner for you to advertise in other blogs/sites if you need one of course. Anyways great blog! Thanks
  • 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.
  • Yes, I think it will. I'm really excited about the ability to aggregate all the online discussion about each post!
  • i agree too
    it will be great
  • This is gonna be huge!
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • Disqus enabled commenting allows better commenting on sites and also the commenter can track on his comment compared to other comment plugin platform.

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

    Steve
  • 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
    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

  • Yeah !
    Social media goes more live to express your self............ : )
  • Yups !
    Its a feature of new social interactive system.............enjoy it .
  • Enjoy the revolution of social interactive media system .
  • I've been using Disqus for quite awhile and absolutely love it. My blog comments have become much easier to manage and I've found the comment section to be much more active.
  • Currently there are some "comment plugins" which can let a page have function of comment.The best one I know is Disqus With greater control and commenter profiles. I love it.
  • Well done. I hope others enjoyed this as much as I did.
  • Just what i have been looking for
  • Interesting post. I have made a twitter post about this. My friends will enjoy reading it also.
  • afallison
    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 ;)
  • 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
  • Good to know that commenting system is finally going to get advanced and more accessible as compared with what it was in past.
  • I can't say enough about Flickr. I use Flickr often
  • Disqus allows better commenting on sites And these new features are just going to make the experience even better.
    Exciting stuff !
  • What a useful post here. Very informative for me..TQ friends...

    Cheers,

  • Web comments can be difficult for both websites and their readers that's why disqus had been very beneficial for many bloggers and comment posters.
  • pall
    I like Disqus http://web-planets.ru
  • thanks for the share
  • I would like to give you a free flash banner for you to advertise in other blogs/sites if you need one of course.
  • This is going to have a huge impact on blog commenting and it will be interesting to see how this affects social media itself. Consolidation is always a good thing, and the internet can definitely do with some more of this in this day of a million social media sites!
