Wow, I like this stuff. I never saw it on french blogs.
I read it launched on nov 2007. Is the buzz starting or am I just late?

The comment itself is out of context, true.. but often people comment on articles they really like or really have a strong opinion about.. that is usually enough for me to follow the comment back to the original blog entry, which, many times is one I haven't read yet.

The problem with comments showing up randomly is they are out of context. But then again I try to provide context even when I post to Twitter.

What kind of tips are you looking for? I think it should be included in WP core and have even asked Matt about it, but I don't think it's going to happen. It's absolutely essential for Laughing Squid and I keep it in lockdown mode all of the time, in case a surprise front page Digg hits while I'm out.

It seems that Disqus has you covered here -- they let you archive your comments and I believe you can import and convert comments in bulk. In other words, they are unusually open and flexible. (I don't work for them, just impressed with their ethic)

I've been running it for 3 months and have only seen two spams hit Disqus, both times they were automatically thrown in a spam queue. I don't get the comment traffic you do, though, so I'm interested in hearing your side after a month or so.

It's been brought up before, Daniel has helped several people move their comments from one site to another, and there is a full backup/restore feature in the Disqus control panel.

I'm thinking about implementing WP Super Cache on my blog this weekend, any tips?

To each his own, Scott, but remember that FriendFeed has a hella effective filtering system. If someone doesn't want to see something, they can filter it out.

Personally, I track people via Disqus AND read comments on friendfeed, but perhaps I am a bit of a freak.

LOL this made me laugh. A++ would watch video comment again.

Congrats! You should be able to tweak the CSS to get the comment input box to have white-on-black text too, by the way. At least, I've seen it like that on other blogs.

See my FriendFeed comment for another link to a useful pingback hack.

Which feature did you request?

Word. This is good.

I've heard a lot of buzz about Disqus recently and although it is a cool idea, I don't understand how they are going to make money unless they start putting ads in comments, which of course wouldn't make many people who are using it very happy.

If the video comments don't work out, they can be easily disabled.

Too soon to tell, but from what I hear it is excellent.

If you are already registered with Discus, then you are verified by default.

So without verifying the comment, it has to wait for moderation. What happens when I am already a discus member?

So this is an interesting system, but how is the spam protection?

Looks like I'm too late to help the testing unless I start dropping terms like "Viagra" and "Nigerian bank account". I'll be taking a better look at Disqus and how well in integrates into a Drupal site.
