Discussing Disqus

I love Disqus as a product. I love it as a blog tool and conversation centerpiece. I am really happy to be an investor. Daniel and Jason are awesome entrepreneurs. I never had the opportunity to cold call them, but when Fred told me about the feature set over dinner a few months back I asked if there was a company that did that. He told me about Disqus. I than asked for the order. Lucky for me, they let us invest.

My favorite thing is how fast I can discover commenters that have something funny or smart to say. I click on a profile in the comments and than can see their on-line profile and whether they have a blog, twitter etc… as well as who else they are reading and commenting on.

It’s conversation and discovery. It is not the only way available to discover, but it’s the only way I am choosing to discover other bloggers on the web right now. It’s working.

It seems like everyday I find new ways to use it and the Disqus dudes find new features and integrations. My readers can comment from Google Reader. It is making me think twice now about finally using Google Reader.

One of my commenters wrote a post about why Google should buy Disqus . Obviously, the kid is smart.

Check out the growth of Disqus as well . As Borat would say….Niiiice.
