We’re Hiring Web Developers and a User Experience Lead

disqus:

Two weeks ago, I asked, “What features would you like?” We had over 200 great responses with ideas that made us nod in agreement with directions we’re heading in, smile coyly at ideas we’re already working on, and recoil in disgust at ideas we’d never consider (just kidding — somewhat).

As we continue working on these ideas (and our own surprises), we’re now looking to expand the team to help build the future of Disqus. Here are two positions that we’re actively looking to fill:

Director of User Experience / Web Designer: Craft rewarding experiences for users.

Front-end Web Developer: Heavy JavaScript development with the Disqus comment system and upcoming related projects.

You can find all of our available positions on our Jobs page.

Do you know the right people? Please let them know that we’ve been looking for them, and also where have they been all this time?

If you don’t know anyone, you can still help us by discussing below (be sure to spread the word by sharing your comments on Twitter and Facebook)!

Thanks,
Daniel

Definitely a better musician than I am.

It had to be done.

This just landed in my inbox… I saw the cut-off subject in the left pane and thought it was some bullshit new comic story arch.

If anything, Batman should be the father.

A Conversation with the President

disqus:

BarackObama.com, managed by Organizing for America (OFA), the successor organization to Obama for America, strives to build on the movement that elected President Obama by empowering communities across the country to bring about the administration’s agenda of change. A vital component of their strategy is to engage citizens in conversation by embracing the most cutting edge and pervasive social media tools today.

Beginning at 5:00 pm EST today, OFA will be hosting a comment discussion, powered by Disqus, leading up to and continuing through the live online video event: A Conversation with the President which will begin at 5:45 pm EST.

Please join in and engage via your Disqus profiles and help spread the word: http://my.barackobama.com/page/content/conversation, or by Twitter using the hashtag: #OFA

My girlfriend carved this jack-o’-lantern for outside of my house. It’s the pumpkin from The Long Halloween (second photo for reference).

It’s pretty awesome, and so is she.

Dealing with Spam

disqus:

We’re kicking off our new How-to’s section with a short guide on how to deal with spam.

By default, Disqus does a pretty good job on handling spam. Spammers, unfortunately, are a creative bunch. This guide should help you discover the right tools in Disqus that will combat spam the most effectively for your site.

Look for more How-to’s soon in this section as well. If you have an idea for a How-to, let us know in the comments.
