Testing Disqus Commenting with Plaxo

Thought it might be interesting to see just how the Disqus.com commenting system would work with my blog’s comments as well as interfacing with the Plaxo Pulse stream. If all works well, you should see the Disqus commenting system in place here, and when you go to Plaxo, you “should” be able to comment there and have that comment automatically appear back here so all comments become a part of the same thread. We’ll see!

  • Here's my comment to help you test. (This one I am doing on your blog, since I'm not connected to you in Pulse.)

    Here's my post on the Disqus/Plaxo integration, which I am very excited about!

  • Excellent! This will allow me to see a "real world example" of a threaded reply as well. I did notice that the comments were eventually getting posted to Plaxo, but not nearly as quickly as services like Friend Feed. But your comment about being connected to me in Plaxo makes me realize that it is more of a closed service anyway. If you have a large community of folks in there, I could see the value of the Disqus three way (I know sounds a bit risqué!) A lot of folks see Facebook in this same light.
  • As I found out, Disqus works infinitely better when I actually activate the WordPress Plugin!
  • And now I'm entering a comment to this thread from my Disqus Community page. I would assume this comment will also show up back on my blog. The original post has yet to show up inside of the plaxo pulse stream. Wondering how long that will take, if it shows up at all?
  • So, clearly, the Disqus system works very well between my community page at their site, and this blog. The third leg of this stool, plaxo's pulse, however, is some what less than stellar in its performance. Still not seeing any of these posts or comments feeding into my pulse stream over there. I suppose that's okay, however, considering that no one I know actually uses that service. Perhaps that will change soon? We'll have to wait and see.
