After a lot of research and debating with myself, I decided I would give Disqus (pronounced discuss) a try for my blog comments. I love the whole idea of social interaction with the commenting system, but there are some features I would love to see added into Disqus.

The first thing is video commenting didn’t go away with Disqus. Seesmic partnered with Disqus to allow video comments into the commenting system. Allow, I do wish Viddler was allowed into the comments too. Maybe an option to choose either service to use as video comments?

You can now vote on comments from users. If you like it or dislike, voice your opinion!

Trackbacks and pingbacks will not show up now in the blog comments. I have read articles and comments from many users saying Disqus is currently working on an option to allow trackbacks and pingbacks. Hopefully, we’ll see that in the very near future!

After playing around with Disqus for a while and having it implemented into my blog, hopefully I will come across some more awesome features! I look forward to seeing what new ideas come to Disqus to help us enhance our blogs and create a better social community. Maybe Google will buy them one day??

Give Disqus a try! Let me know what you think!
