Let’s Disqus – Video Comments?
By TheAntiHype | June 20, 2008
Disqus – surely you mean D I S C U S S?
Actually no, Disqus is another of those great sites that uses an unusual spelling of a common word.
I started using the Disqus service today and you need to know because it affects you.
Quite simply – Disqus is brilliant.
Ever wanted more interactivity on your blog? How about talking – yes, not only can your visitors leave text comments with this service, voice comments and even video can be created directly on your blog.
Disqus has taken blog comments to the next level.
Give it a try – you’ll be asked to create an account as you leave a comment – the benefits are huge. Comments you leave on any blog that uses Disqus will have your profile attached and others will vote for the quality of your comments.
Spammers are out in the cold and good commentators will reap the benefits – if you leave great comments do you think others may be tempted to visit your blog? It’s what the whole Social Bookmarking movement is all about.
Am I ready to use a webcam to leave my comments – I’m not sure yet. For now I’ll be using voice only – the problem is I don’t look at grumpy as TheAntiHype all the time and my cover may be blown!
I’ve left a short message below as an example of how it works.
I highly recommend it and here’s the co-founder explaining a bit about the service and the company.

What a voice! Great idea Anti-hype. I think I am going to have to give this a try. You know if blogging just becomes more fun with all these toys you can use my gardens will never get weeded!

There's much to be said for a “wild” garden!!
I know what you mean – no sooner do I get comfortable with what I'm doing something new comes along. Actually, that's great – life would be boring without change.
Thanks for being the first to use Disqus on Guru Fodder. Mark
