I am now Disqus-ing

After seeing Disqus being used by Rob Loach I thought I would install it.

So what is Disqus?
Well it is basically a centralised commenting system. All Disqus enabled sites allow commenting, the comments are then stored with Disqus. If an author of the comment is a Disqus user their comment is affiliated to their account. Disqus users can specify friends and comments can be followed much like twitter posts are followed.

Why not just use Drupal comments?
Well, there are a few reasons. By using Disqus commenting comments get seen by a wider community bringing more traffic to the site. It also allows added features like video comments and rating of comments.

So, feel free to comment on this post to try out and sign up for Disqus.
