I love when things fall into place like this.
For weeks, I've wanted to find a better 'commenting' module for this blog (the default 'Comments' feature provided by blogger just wasn't cutting it for me...or you).
So here's what happened: I got an e-mail one hour ago from Jeff S. asking me to join his network on Plaxo (which, BTW, provides a very cool integration of Facebook, Twitter, Digg, Plurk and a dozen other social networking sites).
Even though I'm buried in social media I figured I'd give it a go because I noticed that a good bunch of my friends and colleagues were online with Plaxo.
Glad I did...
While setting up my profile on Plaxo I learned of a cool plug-in for blogs that makes 'commenting' much more usable. The plug-in is Disqus and according to them:
"Disqus makes your comments more interactive for readers and easier to manage for you — all while connecting your community with other blogs."
Awesome! I couldn't ask for more (although we all know 'more' will be coming from Disqus and a hundred other start-ups before we can say "great, just what I needed").
Bottom line is this: WE are all going to kick the tires on this one as soon as they work out an integration issue with blogger.
Stay tuned.
Mike
