I’m not really sold on the idea of Disqus from what I’ve heard. From what I’ve read it’s a product that allows you to (if you are a publisher) install it on your “article” page and it will track comments and provide an external forum (wtf?) I think it also has some sort of global login dealy so that if a lot of blogs in your bookmark list use it you can use 1 login and it will track your history and “rep”.

I think the market is too small here, but I do think the idea is fairly solid and along the same lines as Open ID.

picture-8.pngDisqus is going to launch two features to help blog readers track the most interesting comments on a blog or other web site.

Forum and blogging software has been around for many years, but there’s still no easy way to find the best comments within a web site or from across web sites.

Disqus has a two-part answer to this problem. It provides an advanced commenting system that can be added to a blog article page. Features include nested comments — tiered according to the order in which they were left — and a way for readers to vote for or against comments, and spam protection.

The other feature is a forum hosted separately by Disqus that displays comments from a blog according to how recent the post was published and how “hot” the discussion is on a particular post — in other words, how many comments that post has.
