Territorial Bloggings

I just installed a new comment management/aggregation app/tool/thing - Disqus.

It got pretty good reviews over at WebWare’s recent Battle of the comment add-ons, so I figured I’d give it a try. One of the niftier things about it is the community aspect of it. From the Disqus FAQ page:

Disqus, pronounced discuss, is a service for blog comments. Disqus enables bloggers to make the conversations on their blogs more interactive and manageable. Our distributed comment system connects readers across blog communities, while empowering publishers in promoting their content.

In short, using Disqus is a better way for people to participate in conversations initially started by blog posts.

Largely, I’m writing this post so that there’ll be a post for which the new commenting system will be in place — the old, WordPress comment system is still in effect for posts that already have existing comments.

Hopefully it’ll be transparent, easy to use, and bring some value (to me, if no one else) to the party.

If you have any thoughts on it, let me know.
