I came across a service called Disqus today thanks to the blog over at Readburner… and I’m rather glad I did!
Disqus effectively creates a “forum” for your blog, allowing for threaded commenting and a community to grow around the comments themselves.
I’ve added it to my blog as you can see – however as a consequence the existing comments are masked – the only drawback I’ve noticed so far. Disqus are looking at a comment import system – its listed within the settings for the plugin, but its not enabled just yet.
Anyway I’d urge anyone who blogs on a regular basis to check out Disqus

Disqus is the top commenting platform in my opinion. Not only is Facebook Connect integration nice but allowing users to also use their Twitter accounts to leave comments is awesome.
This is my first comment but I feel like I should have been making loads of comments now because I always like your stuff. Maybe comments are for more hit and miss blogs than your own. When you maintain a consistent level of high quality output I reckon people are less inclined to comment because they have come to expect it from you. Just a theory.
Never really occurred to me to leave a comment on the designboom weblog.. i mean sure, i read you guys everyday, but the posts i find interesting i fave or bookmark or share the url to others, rather than clicking the comment link.
It's good to know your stand towards this comment thing going on. I've visited some design sites before that I find have repetitive comments from visitors, might be one of those you were pertaining to.
I find I respect designboom more for the lack of comment obsession :)
Jay, If you're interested in additional features such as ratings, ratings+comments, polls, top-rated content, scores, etc., check out www.js-kit.com. Super easy and friendly. Cheers, Nancy at js-kit.com.
