Disqus provides you with a better way of attracting blog readers to start thread conversations in blog posts. It enables the post to be more interactive and manageable and it presents blog comments in a nicer, web 2.0ish way.

Yes, if a comment is posted by a non-Disqus member that has a gravatar, then the gravatar.com picture is displayed. I believe the gravatars displayed for Disqus members will be the picture set up with the Disqus account. I suspect that if a Disqus user has not uploaded a photo to their account, the gravatar.com one will then be used, but I’m not sure. Daniel would know for sure.

And those Gravatars, are they same Gravatars we have on MUO (from Gravatar.com)?

1. There is sorting options at the top of the comment thread so you can choose the sort method.
2. Yes, if you use the WP plugin it will sync with your db.

Hey Jorge,

two questions

1. Does Disqus sorts coments based on the net votes?
2. If I decide to uninstall it, will the comments that were submitted when Disqus was still on will stay?

Actually, I am running it on my own WordPress blog (GeekLad). I had been running it on another blog as well, and I recently decided to put it on GeekLad as well. In the process of installing it, I figured it would make a good article for MakeUseOf.com.

Good writeup, Jorge.

Documentation is lacking for the other platforms for sure. We’ve began thinking of this area again and will be updating it in the next couple weeks.

So what’s stopping you for giving it a whirl?
