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

5 March 2009 134 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.

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    I like Disqus http://web-planets.ru

  • This would be a great partnership to them, for social media never beats off.

  • I would like to give you a free flash banner for you to advertise in other blogs/sites if you need one of course.

  • nice post, thanks for sharing :)

  • This is easy to manipulate and make marketing communication be effective.

  • 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!

  • As a new user of DISQUS, its nice to have a listing of all your comments in one spot. Plus the twitter tie in, give your comments a bigger audience.

  • It is really a fantastic idea to merge Disqus and Mashable. This will really help posting social media comments with relative ease. and also the additional provision for twitter is a new revolution in blog posting.

  • Great website I really enjoy your site. I'm really excited about your future posts ;). An this is really cool, I can't wait till this feature is enabled.

  • Sick feature. It's actually pretty cool.

    that is so cool ah.

  • 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.

  • Excellent blog, thanks for the post!

  • Interesting post. I have stumbled and twittered this for my friends. Hope others find it as interesting as I did.

  • Thanks for posting this update. We will be looking forward to your informative posts.

  • I love disqus, it is more convenient to use than other blog commenting parts. At least I can track down my comments on other disqus comment blogs as well.

  • thanks for sharing.

  • It’s quite a long time for this, now social media blogs are already provided to disqus and even people are participating to that, I think this was a great decision.

  • Disqus is always my first preference to comment on the blogs, previously there were no social media blogs to this but now anyone can find it on disqus and can participate to that as I am doing and enjoying.

    Oh well, i’m watting too!

  • That’s what I’m hoping also to gain more traffic after commenting. I also put a Facebook share button and like.
