Disqus is definitely a great tool and will alleviate some of the time consuming issues webmasters have to contend with. I do think more and more platforms like this will start appearing soon.

Disqus really rocks.. I really like this commenting system.. Nowadays, social media have really lots of benefits to us.. One of the most popular is the use of social media in marketing and in advertising...

Thanks for article or posting... It would appear this blog is now using the DISQUS plug in.

Are there only certain themes which allow people to comment on entries or can I change one or more of my settings to make it possible?

Jay - glad I sought out some info on this plugin and found this post before implementing it! Decided to nix it. Always pays to do your homework!

Its easier using disqus than any other commenting system. Easy to control and mange your comments. You can even follow commentators, Awesome

I have used it before, but found that just using the WP comment system was easier.

Does anyone have a blog with this installed? I'd very intrigued to find out more about it

Julia - I hope you read the comments too, and not just the post. I'm not a Disqus fan. I don't like giving up control of comments left here and losing a valuable feature like subscribing to comments. I never implemented Discus comments and can't see ever doing so.

Hi, I too am just testing this to see how it's working. I like your addition of the anti-spam protection. I thought this link took a while to load but it could just be the time of day and my connection. Cheers.

As I thought the box size would be the most fatal of all, the fact that Disqus has limited Comment Subscription only for those with Disqus, has rendered my interest down. I think I should stick with regular standard setting. No Disqus, no thing.. Thank's Jay

Having someone else in control of my content seems like a really bad idea. What happens if they fold up their tent and go home? Do the comments go with them? Thanks for the review - I think I'll pass!

@Dan - beats me. Their sites says, "Disqus is currently a free service". That sort of implies that at some point they may start charging.

How do these types of comment services monetize?

Dave -

Thanks so much for your thoughts.

For those that don't know Dave, I trust his opinions completely. And the more I look into Disqus, the less I like it and the more I see what Dave refers to.

The other thing I noticed, was Disqus renders the "Subscribe to Comments" feature non-functional. The only way someone could subscribe would be to join Disqus. I don't want to force anyone to join anything. At least with the current subscribe to, it uses the commenters own email -- which it completely their choice..

There is also no way (that I could find) to highlight my own comments, a feature I happen to like.

I like having complete control of my blog. Hosting the comments on someone else's site just seems silly at best, and possibly dangerous. What if the service goes away? Is bought out? Changes the terms of service (or fees)???

No thanks. Comments on Phoenix Real Estate Guy will stay right on Phoenix Real Estate Guy.

Jay,

You got me curious about this comment service. I set up an account for the lab and before I activated it I decided to many comments to risk. : )

I have another little unknown blog with 4 comments on it. That became my test blog. Here is what I found.

Import all those comments to Disqus and those post will now show "No Comments" (Good thing you didn't do this).

Add new comments with Disqus activated, they do appear. Turn off the plugin, the new Disqus comments are gone. The old comments are back.

You no longer store your comments, they are on their site.
You no longer have control over "do follow" on your comments
If you author multiple sites you are limited to using your Dusqus login information.

The new comments appear to be stored on their domain. They are no longer your content.

I didn't test any further. This was enough for me. It is free for now, but if they decided to turn it into a charge service you either pay or loose all comments.

I could never recommend this to any RE blogger.

Can't you go into the code of Disqus and change the box size so it does not move your side bar down. Or you could make your blog itself a little wider to accomadate it.

Jay:

I've been hearing buzz about the tool and hoped to see it in operation here--with an explanation outlining its benefits.

Bummer! Hope you get it fixed.
