I Am Totally Disqus ed

“Plug in the DISQUS comment system and bring out the best discussion on your website”

- from disqus home page

We all know the power of comments on our blogs.  They give us a mechanism for discussion, real feedback and personal opinions from our readers.  With comments, we are able to establish a connection and participate in the conversation with our audience.

But there is so much more we can do!

Disqus is a robust commenting system allow us to track our conversations, share our discussion with the likes of Friendfeed and Plaxo as well as always stay in touch by replying via email or our mobile phone.

Disqus enhances our experience and considerably steps up the interactivity by incorporating ratings and video comments.  Now that’s cool!

Ok, ok I can hear you.

“Come on Jayson, with all those components, you will need a programmer just to install it on your blog.”

Its easy as pie to implement.

Actually Disqus has done a great job with making their commenting system easy as pie to integrate into your blog.  The administrative area is very intuitive.  They have incorporated search engine friendly plugins , a complete data sync (whatever that is) but it sounds good, and widgets allow you to easily build your community.

Forget the boring simple text fields we usually see, Disqus is totally customizable to match the look and feel of your blog design.  Disqus has reinvented what it means to make a comment.

In their own words; ” there’s no difference between a great comment and a great blog post…people feel good about taking the time to speak (or type) their minds.”

I really can’t think of any reason not to have Disqus on your blog, unless you don’t want your readers talking to you, about you… “oh yeah, they are going to do that anyway.”

I would love to Disqus this with you!
