Meet Brizzly, My New Twitter Client
Disqus doubled in size this month as Devin and I joined as new software developers. After we're all up to speed, you can expect improvements at a faster rate.
Glad to hear about imp/export too. Those are key points. I wouldn't blame you for making it hard to get comments out of Disqus. So, gravy to hear that's on the radar.
Also glad to hear you're growing, which will help close the feature gaps. I appreciate that you guys engage whiners like me with real feedback.
Glad you're willing to listen to my whining. I'll try not to wear out my welcome.
Brilliant ! Signed - a fellow whiner. You have to keep these developer types on their toes :-)
We should all bang on Daniel to get this stuff done. I'd have nothing but kudos if they could address these features. I suspect they're already in development.
The hack didn't do anything for OpenID. It brought trackbacks back into the post view. WP track comments and trackbacks. Disqus doesn't do trackbacks yet, which is a key gap. The hack allows you to pull from WP's trackbacks list for a post and display it in Disqus' comment plugin.
However, you're right to praise Daniel Ha's proactive attitude to scanning the various channels for Disqus chatter and proactively approaching people offering assistance.
As an aside, you can actually export Disqus comments (Configure-Extras-Export) into XML or RSS 2.0 formats. However, it's not immediately clear how you would import this data into WP, Typepad, Habari (insert popular blogging platform).
I hadn't seen the export comments feature. I suppose it must be there for a reason though. Maybe someone will chime in with an answer.
OpenID does away with registering and maintaining credentials for web sites; think SSO for consumer web. You register once with an OpenID identity provider and then you provide the URL to your OpenID. The web site does the rest w/the provider. Wikipedia entry may help: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openid
Not sure what "where" you mean. OpenID isn't a single place; many different providers exist.
They say im/export are coming soon, and they're pretty responsive to feedback. So, we'll see.
I have a gadgets blog / site with very few commenting activity, I was hoping the "conversation" nature of disqus would entice visitors to comment
Thanks also for pointing out the good and the bad of this plugin
