Super Random

I have been thinking of changing my blog comment thing to DISQUS because I like that it tells you when you get a reply. What do you all think? And do any of you use DISQUS already? I need some serious input here...this is a BIG deal! {I hope you got the sarcasm there but seriously, input would be nice.} And if you're anti DISQUS please let me know how you all like to get replies to your comments. I used to reply on my own blog but then I wasn't sure if anyone checked back to see my reply so I started heading to people's blogs to reply. Sometimes I just comment on people's posts but forget to reply to the comments from my posts...does that make any sense? Anyway, basically I'm asking for wisdom from all you bloggers who know more than me! And all of you bloggers who just have an opinion/thought about this. Thanks! :]

  1. I have NO earthly idea DISQUS is...
    Ha, but when people reply to my comments via email it generally works best.. I have a BlackBerry and it just beeps at me and I'm like "Oh, cool! a reply to my comment" Ha, yeah - just like that.

    But anyway! happy belated anniversary ;)

  3. I really really REALLY like disqus (i dont think i stressed that enough) I always wanted to reply to the comments I received, but I didnt think anyone came back to check if I replied... and I think more people can comment with disqus (with blogger I have had people tell me they tried to leave a comment but it didnt work.)

  5. I've seen it on other blogs and it looks really cool, huh? I haven't made the switch because I don't really know what the benefits are. Blogger seems to be working ok for me for now :) Let mek now what you decide to do!

  6. I never check back to see when people comment, and don't usually ask to be notified when they do. You can reply using regular comment form. When you get the email that you received a comment- just reply like a normal email. If they have their email set publicly (most bloggers do) on their blogger profile, then they'll get the reply in their email inbox. :) That's how I like to do it.

  7. I have heard issues that when you get Discus it erases your previous blogger comments. I'm sure you could go to your dashboard and see the comments there, but initially your comments put there will not show up. Just the Disqus ones.

    That has always demotivated me because I like to go back and read encouraging things on posts.

  8. I haven't used anything like that. Sorry, I wish I could be more help.

  10. ugh I hate Disqus!!! I tried it and all my previous comments disappeared. plus it messed up other Design details on my site. plus when I'm trying to leave a comment on other people's Disqus things it's suuuuuuper slow and sometimes freezes so I have to type real slow. Personally I like just getting a comment back on my blog as a reply :) have a great rest of your week hun!
