Scroll to the bottom of this blog post. What is that you read at the end of every post? No not that amazing bio about me… I am talking about the call to action. At the end of all of my blog post, many of you will notice I always direct you to leave questions and comments (and thank you to all who do) as well as click on other links for more information. Whereas this is great practice for all of you writing your own blog posts, we have found a new tool that makes this more interesting and helps you use Social media to its fullest at the same time. This tool is called “Disqus.”

Disqus (pronounced “dis-Kuss”), is a new tool that you can integrate to your blog for a stronger user experience on your site. Disqus allows users to log in with their Facebook, Twitter or OpenID accounts (and a couple others) to interact with other viewers of the blog. When logged in on Facebook and Twitter, you can also share your comment with your profile. Go ahead and try it! At the bottom of this page log in with either your Facebook or your twitter account and leave a comment as to how fantastic we are. Then go and check your account and you will see it right there on Twitter/Facebook for everyone to see!

Disqus is a great example of how social media can be used to really tie everything together and be linked up. It is very important to be as visible as possible from all facets of social media and this tool does just that, but allowing you to comment on one blog, and sharing that comment with your friends and followers, all at the same time.

“Disqus is all about changing the way people think about discussion on the web. [They're] big believers in the conversations and communities that form on blogs and other sites.” We have to say, that we completely agree with them

    Great concept and a great way to tie all social media outlets together with your blog

  2. Great writeup–been meaning to integrate Disqus for many months now but this article gave me the motivation to actually do it. A little complicated to set up–I'd definitely recommend letting a professional do the integration!

    Hey Ben, yeah, it did take us a while to make sure everything was working right, but I'm really happy and impressed with Disqus!

  4. The only thing I'm seeing wrong is it says “X Comments Comments” instead of “X Comments” (comments is said twice)… this is in Safari, not sure about other browsers (I notice the comment count behaves differently across browsers… no idea why)

  6. Disqus es un gran ejemplo de cómo los medios sociales se puede utilizar para atar realmente todo y estar relacionado . Es muy importante ser tan visibles como sea posible en todas las facetas de los medios de comunicación social y esta herramienta no sólo eso, sino lo que nos permite hacer un comentario sobre un blog, y la distribución de ese comentario con nuestros amigos y seguidores , todo al mismo tiempo.

  7. The most lovely feature that i like is social interaction of Disqus comments system and every one can handle all its comment through admin panel and it is a less spammy rather than wordpress.

  8. As i always like Disqus for commenting due to its facilities and easy to use than others. it is less spammy and less time consuming.
