MakeUseOf Comments Now Powered By Disqus

If you’re a regular on MakeUseOf, you’ve probably noticed that post comments don’t look quite the same as they previously did. It gives me great pleasure to announce that MakeUseOf comments are now powered by DISQUS Comments.

Many thanks to Daniel Ha and the rest of the good folks at Disqus for their help and support.

So what exactly does that mean for our loyal MakeUseOf readers?


If you wish, you can post comments in the same manner as before by simply providing your name and email address. You can also easily subscribe to all comments without logging in, either by email or RSS feed. It takes one click!

In addition to allowing comments without logging in, Disqus allows a few different options for logging in when posting a comment.

If you don’t have a Disqus Profile, you can still log in with Facebook Connect or Twitter. Doing so will post your comment to MakeUseOf as well as Facebook or Twitter. However, if you post your comment with a Disqus Profile you can do much more!

You can create a Disqus Profile if you don’t already have one. Doing so will allow you to manage all comments you post onto Disqus-powered sites in one place. It also allows you to post comments to multiple social networks, once you’ve set up your connections. By logging in with your Disqus Profile, you can post your comment to Disqus, Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!, Tumblr, WordPress, Moveable Type, and TypePad all at the same time!

Another great feature Disqus offers when you log in with a Disqus Profile is the ability to reply by email. When you receive the email notification that a new comment has been posted, you can just reply directly to that email to reply to the comment. See screenshot below.

It is no longer necessary to click a link (although you can if you wish) to visit the blog post so you can post your comment.

All comments you post on all Disqus blogs will be aggregated and available for others to view on your profile page. Your profile will be located at http://disqus.com/YourUserName. For example, my profile is located at http://disqus.com/GeekLad. There you can see comments I post on my own blog (GeekLad, as it is also powered by Disqus), and any other comments I’ve posted to other Disqus-powered blogs.

If you have a blog and are interested in using Disqus as the comment system, we highly recommend it. Disqus supports many different blogging platforms:

  • WordPress
  • Blogger
  • Tumblr
  • Moveable Type
  • Drupal
  • Joomla
  • Squarespace
  • Yola/SynthaSite
  • DokuWiki
  • Storytlr
  • Sweetcron
  • Sandvox
  • chi.mp

They even have “universal code” that allows you to use Disqus on any website! Disqus also offers many cool features for blog owners as well, such as replying by email and lots of customization options for the comment display and integration with other services.

We hope you enjoy our new commenting system. If you have any questions about Disqus, please feel free to post them in the comments below.

I'm a fairly typical geek that spends hours in front of a computer monitor at work as well as at home. I also enjoy putting together nifty tools and gadgets. I aspire to some day be able to make a living as a geek, perhaps blogging, consulting, or both. Although I've been blogging in some form or another since the turn of the millennium, I really didn't "take it seriously" until I created WealthBoy late in 2007. Recently I decided that blogging about technology and the geeky stuff I enjoy might suit me better, so I created GeekLad. Developing both blogs has been a great learning experience in search engine optimization, and I hope to some day become an SEO expert.

    • http://www.makeuseof.com/ Aibek

      Might be a bit difficult at the moment since we are not really able to
      test the Intense Debate as extensively as the Disqus. As far as I am
      aware WordPress plans to integrate ID into it’s 3.0 offering.

      • http://w8hosting.com lakridserne

        Okay. It was just because I’m running IntenseDebate on my blog, and I wanted to hear if Disqus is better.

        • http://www.makeuseof.com/ Aibek

          We’ll definitely look into it in detail as soon as WordPress integrates
          it into the main offering.
