I enjoy the ambient chatter of the Green Bay/St. Louis game, but I’m not paying any attention at all as I’m typing away. Every other commercial spot, however, I begin to notice that the background music is always the same. This happened for about 4 different commercials, and I paid attention because it was the same song I use for my iPhone ringtone: Red Hot Chili Peppers - Can’t...

There were a few big things that didn’t quite make this week’s release. It’ll come soon and it’ll be great.
There was, however, a small update made. There are a slew of bug fixes along with some minor changes to the comment system. Head on over to your Integration Settings to tweak away.
You can now choose the size of the avatars (the pictures next to the comments) as well as change the relative...

A release this week →
We’re aiming for a good-sized release by the end of this week. Hopefully many of the things we’ve been working on will make it in for this release.
Did you know you could follow people’s comments through Disqus-enabled websites? Start by following me.

On Content Ownership (or How Disqus Received a... →
Since being in a “public beta” for a month now, we’ve been covered and reviewed on a number of different places. We pay close attention to how we’re received and what people like or dislike. The main concern that people have is on the ownership of the content that comes from the discussion. If you use Disqus, does Disqus own and control your comments?
The answer, of course, is No. One of the...

New option in notifications →
There was an update made to the email notifications feature today. It may catch some people by surprise, so I’d like to explain it here.
By default, you will now be notified (and sent) comments that are either unapproved or flagged as spam. Don’t worry — these comments are not displayed on your blog or forum (and the spam did not get through). You can choose to approve or delete these comments by...

Tea with an early Disqus user, Dhrumil →
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet Dhrumil and Nirav, who both work on WeLikeitRaw.com. Dhrumil is a very early user of Disqus and has been very encouraging and helpful to us along the way. He’s been one of the most passionate members of Disqus to date.
We had noon tea at The Imperial Tea Court and talked about Disqus, startups, and the raw food lifestyle. They’re doing some great stuff...
One month status update →
There are two oft-requested features that we really want to get out the (metaphorical) door already.
1. Content importing
2. Blog widgets
We’ve done a lot of work on both, but we keep turning our attention to new things that seem to crop up daily. At the moment, changes are being made to the backend so that large updates to Disqus won’t actually break anything. Sorry for the wait time,...
