Today is my favorite day of the week lately. On every other Thursday this summer, my library has a brown-bag discussion of technology and the New York Times has its cluster of tech articles that are vestiges of the once-standalone Circuits section. In the fall, we'll move our brown-bag meetings back to Fridays....

Is it reasonable to be offended that an online article, clearly not written on the fly, coming from the publisher of some of America's best-written/best-edited magazines, consistently uses "it's" for "its"? Or should I assume that all copyeditors and literate writers have been canned during the recession?

What is the purpose of the class - why do you want to learn everything about leadership? Is it to improve the participants leadership skills or just to tickle their curiosity? If you really want your class to improve their abilities to lead, you need to put them in a position where they do lead. People learn from what they do. So go ahead and give each participant (or group of participants) a challenge: lead us out of this crisis!
- Olavur Ellefsen
Jeff: +1 you make a great point. A person does not have to be a top dog, so to speak, to be a leader. Leaders come in all shapes and sizes. (Statuses too)

Never try to lead people. It doesn't work. Better off building and guiding a team. If you can organize a team that works well together, you'll spend less time trying to hold the team together and more of your energy guiding them and being productive. Treat every team member with respect. If you don't listen to them, they will not listen to you. Keep your ego and temper in check. It...

For my blog redesign, we are looking at Disqus, Intense Debate, BackType, commenting engines. Should we use any? Which one? Discuss here:
Enrico Giubertoni, David HC Soul, Kevin Eklund and 60 other people liked this
Or should we just stick with Wordpress' comments and use a Plugin to bring friendfeed comments into it? Like what TechCrunch is doing.
- Robert Scoble
My design is looking pretty nice. They used the Thesis theme. Coming soon. Can't wait to blog again!
- Robert Scoble
Yes. Keep it simple, but keep the conversation only on friendfeed/your site.
- Daniel Morgan
In the apps room, most people liked Disqus better.
- Bruce Lewis
TechCrunch format works for me
- Julie Williams
Disqus is simple, allows twitter re-posting, Facebook Connect, and OpenID authentication, and some nice RSS feeds.
- Jesse Hattabaugh
Robert: The BackType Connect plugin works on top of the Wordpress comment system -- so we aren't a replacement comment system
- CG
what about JS-Kit?
- Nick Halstead
I like Disqus.
- Tami Baribeau
Scoble: Screenshots!
- Gustav Holmström
JS-Kit are still the market leaders from the numbers I have seen
- Nick Halstead
Disqus + friendfeed: mebbe a plugin that will allow using a post box on your blog, that will make it part of FF conversation
- Shivanand Velmurugan
I'm prefering Disqus. good support. they're going after the integration and really on top of the whole discussion world.
- SolidSmack
Thesis Theme? or Thesis-Like Theme? (did you hear about the controversy?) -- also count one vote for Disqus
- Chris Heath
Go with Disqus.
- Chris Charabaruk
I like Disqus. :) Very simple to use, and great service if you need help.
- Daynah
I like Disqus too. Their FF integration could be cleaner though...
- Daniel J. Pritchett
Definitely Disqus, gotta love how it keeps you logged in across sites.
- Tyler Hayes
why are their so many? i just dont understand the advantages. although the techcrunch model seems to be the easiest
- Cory
Facebook connect is a must IMO
- Daniel J. Pritchett
from IM
Techcrunch comments (trees) + voting.
- Stoicho Monev
I'm not a blogger, nor do I participate much on blogs, but I like Disqus because of the "like"-system. The ability to like comments gives readers somewhat to do on your blog. That is, something easier than commenting themselves.
- Meryn Stol
Cory: TechCrunch's CrunchCam is a group/room on friendfeed and you can post to it and then there can be comment threads underneath each post... kind of cool that you get an extra level of threading by doing that, but that only works for a single page not a whole run of pages, each with their own set of comments.
- Chris Heath
This really comes down to 3rd party comment system vs native comment system. If you want the latter, you can supplement with BackType Connect if you like. Here's an e.g. of it running on WP comments (threaded): http://bit.ly/Jk9cY
- CG
To expand on what Shivanand and Daniel said, Disqus has a "Social media reactions" feature that pulls in comments from other sites, including FriendFeed. Example here: http://ourdoings.com/ourdoin...
- Bruce Lewis
I like Disqus, too; using it on my WordPress site. FB Connect and Twitter integration is nice, as are individual profiles.
- Guy LeCharles Gonzalez
I like Disqus+FriendFeed, but I'd say whatever you do Facebook Connect, Google Friend Connect, or some other system such that users don't have to create yet another account on your blog to comment/participate is a must. No way would I maintain my own user DB these days.
- Ken Sheppardson
I think that liking comments make individual blog pages somewhat nicer to be at. A bit of interaction, a bit of play. Certainly for visitors who are coming from FriendFeed.
- Meryn Stol
I think a custom thing is better cause only you know what needs your has
- Andy Gongea
JS-KIT works very well
- Mark
I like Disqus, works well on every blog and brings in a large number of social network 'reactions' to your articles.
- Mathew Packer
Having tried them all, I'm liking plain Wordpress comments with Backtype connect. It's a clean, fast solution without all the javascript slowdowns.
- Bwana ☠
Thanks for all the feedback, this really helps. Looks like we're going with Disqus.
- Robert Scoble
I am using Disqus and I am satisfied. I guess all are good alternatives!
- Manos Matsakis
Somehow I already knew that :)
- Bwana ☠
Disqus has been my favorite so far. I'm actually considering a custom engine I may write though - I'm thinking of something like Disqus in a frame on the left side, and real-time FriendFeed and maybe Facebook in a frame on the right below the post.
- Jesse Stay
If I find the time to do it each new post will auto-submit to FriendFeed/Facebook, and track the comments of that post on each site and auto-update real-time (or as close as possible)
- Jesse Stay
I really like Disqus. Simple, straight forward. Can't put my finger on it but when I see Diqus is an option i am much more likely to comment. That said, could be a reason to use another to keep me form commenting. :)
- Kevin Murray
Disqus is a good choice but beware their do follow username links. I get more spam than I would like - I would guess you'd get a good bit more because of that and their spam filtering needs some upgrading
- David Knight
Good point, David. I get a decent amount of spam via Disqus and my blog is orders of magnitude smaller than Robert's.
- Daniel J. Pritchett
I have a gmail address, i get (almost) no spam (in my inbox)
- Chris Heath
im really enjoying intense debate.i love the voting system and tiered responses. also its super easy to link all your social profiles through.
- Jason Fleck
I have loved Intense Debate because of the super fast email moderation, but I also like BackType too. Haven't tried Disqus but I have heard some moving away from it.
- Brandon Cox
Robert, are you *finally* going to pay attention to issues of comment export and import *before* you adopt a new system? The main reason I no longer comment on your blog is because you've shown little compunction over dumping comments wholesale whenever you migrate to a new service.
- Michael R. Bernstein
Personally, I'm liking disqus right now. you can also combine it with friendfeed comments like @kylelacy is

As a commenter I really appreciate the Disqus system. I tend towards epic length comments, often worth reblogging. Disqus makes that very simple. I would like it even more if the FriendFeed was integrated both ways with the Disqus. The one thing I don't like about Disqus is the disjointed way that the comments are brought into FriendFeed. (each comment s a separate feed entry instead of...

- Robert Scoble
Chris: I don't care which one has the most mainstream users. I care which one has the most respect amongst friendfeed users.

JS-Kit loads on the Cheezburger network, that doesn't necessarily equate to more active participants

Robert. Disqus is the way to go! they have the best customer service I've ever seen. help@disqus.com try it for yourself. they're incredibly fast and very reliable.
- Adam Jackson
Backtype, non-third party, keeping main comment structure, pulls in comments directly on the page itself (as do others but a lot less messy) and easier to integrate. :-) My two cents!
- Maria Reyes-McDavis
@Robert JS-Kit connects you to more users via OpenID, Yahoo, Google Friend Connect, Twitter, Facebook and others coming. Some other things coming that we can discuss next week. U can switch from Disqus to JS-Kit after the fact, yes.
- Chris Saad
I second Chris Saad on JS-Kit. This is a pretty helpful thread as I was looking for feedback about what comments engine we use. thanks for posting this
- Sardar Mohkim Khan
Chris: is there integration between js-kit & FriendFeed?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
@Guruvan there is no explicit friendfeed connect yet - but when we do it it will be very slick
- Chris Saad
My vote goes to Disqus.
- Alexander Grundner
Still using DISQUS, but find that it has a very awkward integration with WP. I can't seem to log on through the WP frame. Trying ID next.
- Bill Sanders
Chris Saad: Do you have any timeframe for a FF connect? This is my big interest as I grow my blog - 2 way integration between comments here and on the blog. Between that and the commenter's ability to have an archive (and reblog) or their own comments. (I guess I'm not big enough to worry about spam yet!)
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Robert: don't count IntenseDebate out just yet. As part of Automattic we can offer tighter integrations with WordPress, Akismet, Gravatar, and PollDaddy (among other future projects). In addition to our FriendFeed, Twitter, and Facebook Connect (beta) integrations, we've also opened up our code for developers to create their own plugins. You can check out IntenseDebate in action here - http://tinyurl.com/aossrd - where we've got several of our plugins enabled. I'm happy to answer any questions.
- Michael
Michael: Can we see the beta integrations somewhere? Especially the FF integration...
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Disqus please
- Jadito
All blog comments should be posted on the friendfeed thread for that blog post and vice-versa. So all commenters on your blog should be authenticated on friendfeed (also can use Google, Facebook, Twitter authentification).
- Charbax
There is a wordpress plugin for Google FriendConnect to manage Open Social authenticated comments which I am experimenting with..
- Charbax
guruvan (Rob Nelson): Here's some info from our blog about our FF integration http://tinyurl.com/bfedb4. Facebook Connect is the only integration that's in beta and it's up and running on our blog as well. It will be out of beta in the coming weeks.
- Michael
Michael: so am I to understand from that blog entry, that the FriendFeed comments are one-way? i.e. Pulling comments from FF into the blog. What I would like to see is the commentary go both ways (I, of course don't know how feasible this really is ATM). It would be nice if all the comments in ID were associated with the original posting on FF. then the comments could come from either source, and the comment feed to FF would be all in one thread here. That said the whole system looks very cool.
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I like Disqus, but doesn't generate ANY additional conversation on my blog and has downtime.
- Jason Nunnelley
guruvan (Rob Nelson): not yet, but that's the plan for the future. No ETA right now though. You can also pull your own IntenseDebate comment stream into FF. Thanks by the way for the kind words!
- Michael
Facebook and Disqus. I think Facebook is now becoming a must.
- Bill Romanos
Bill: Facebook? What are you doing there?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Disqus is the best. BackType Connect is interesting as well.
- Louis Gray
Facebook Connect, et al for auth, and integrate w/ internal (asymmetric) storage of comments.
- Jason Nunnelley
Use Disqus, it comes with Facebook connect.
- Jan Ole Peek

- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I've used and enjoyed Disqus now for several months. That's my pick.
- Mike Lewis
can friendfeed be enabled to be a commenting system for your blog?
- Tim Connors
Tim, you mean like a FF Connect? (like Facebook, Google, and Twitter)
- Tyler Hayes
Tim: FriendFeed is used for commenting on Shey's blog (this is pretty slick IMO) http://www.sheysmith.com/
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
Rob: I do like that. Tyler: yes like facebook connect but not tied to just one social media service.
- Tim Connors
Tim, if it's like Facebook Connect but just for FriendFeed, how is it not tied to just one soc. med. service? I'm assuming you just mean it as another way for people to post comments, rather than only having the imported FF comments to your blog serve as comments (as then all commentators would have to be registered on FF).
- Tyler Hayes
good question. i was thinking since FF allows users to plug in to many social nets, if the comment is made from within FF or from within a FF widget on Robert's blog, seems he gets maximum distribution... and maximum chance the conversation is mostly available in one thread. and future proofing for when goog/yahoo/msft launch their newsfeeds/streams. and if the links on twitter and facebook back to the conversation are to his blog vs FF, Robert gets lots of monetizable pageviews there.
- Tim Connors
I think the best way to go is to use a FriendFeed plugin through WordPress. This way, you can keep an accurate track of your site's visitors, since all of your comments will be made from the site itself or from FriendFeed.
- Thomas Ward
You already made your mind, but i'm going to cast my vote on disqus too. They do an amazing job, WP should come with it as default commenting system.
- Diego Sana
FriendFeed.
- Thomas Hawk
I like Disqus
- Karoli
Disqus ... still getting better. Excellent spam filter. Turn key-integration .... plus another 'community'
- Charlie Anzman
I loves Intense Debate - Very helpful guys if you should encounter any Probs.
- Brent - Yes I am
I like Disqus for selfish reasons. My Disqus comments to your blog end up not only in your blog, but in my FriendFeed, making them easier to find and share. Wordpress comments stay in Wordpress and are harder to find outside of the original context - some people like that, but I don't.
- John E. Bredehoft
John E. Bredehoft: If you want to import your Wordpress comments as well, check out www.backtype.com -- we're a service you can add to your FF account
- CG
Disqus is my choice. I already enabled it on my blog. It would be easy for me to comment in your if you enable DISQUS!
- Krishnamoorthy
disqus, it's really great, i used it on my tumblr blog for a lot of time, i think i'll use that too on my blog, to replace intense debate
- Ivana
Both disqus and Intense Debate can be a bit frustrating from a user perspective, logging in was at times an extra step, then the posting delay caused me to post duplicate comments which is a time waster. Is there that much of an advantage to using either is them?
- Albert Maruggi
I log into disqus once per browser session, and post on all disqus powered blogs. how is that an extra step? it's less steps. further, if the blog owner sets up the facebook connect for the disqus, it's a single click login. and this is harder than typeing in my name address and web address how?
- guruvan (Rob Nelson)
I am about to relaunch my blog and completing a comment migration to Disqus, but now realize that it was a trade-off. Comment security and centralized control versus a loss of some control and a weaker SPAM protection engine. Thanks for suggesting some other tools.

I would suggest JS - Kit ...
- Dinesh Mohan Raturi
I like Disqus but I think Backtype is doing a better job picking up on mentions distributed across the social Web.
- Paul Jacobson
Disqus seems to be most robust and the beset choice. It does have a performance impact though (but that is true for other commenting systems also). I would suggest to test loadtime behaviour with e.g. http://www.octagate.com/service... or with YSlow on a test system before adding to your production blog.

DIsqus +1 works nicely with friendfeed. And easy way of having overview over all your discussions across the web.

Not looking at JS-Kit? Seriously, though, I'd just cover Google Friend Connect, FB Connect, and maybe Twitter. Between those, you'll have all of your bases covered. There's no point in choosing a walled garden unless it already has a critical mass of users.

I blame Linda Stone for this. She invited me to one of her dinners. Eight people. No blogging. All hand selected. And she made sure we kept the conversation on something deep and intimate.

LOL, I give it 20 minutes before you're all shaking, bored and call the whole thing off and run for your iPhones and Blackberry's and Netbooks!

Adam: the older I get the more I realize that the reason we have all this technology is so we can find other people we want to meet around the world.

High def Skype will just make you want to meet that person on the other side even more.

Do you think it would be possible to replicate the level playing field on sees in social media? I gauge "interestingness" based on words alone. Not your job, not your status, not your level of education and not your dough.

- Robert Scoble
Sue: on the other hand, just because you have education, status, dough, that doesn't mean you are interesting, just that out of 1,000 people it makes it more likely. I have found some interesting people without any of the three, but it's tougher, that's for sure.

If you didn't like the new Star Trek movie, the original series with Shatner is available. Try Amazon. Now shut up.

Remakes, reboots, re-imaginings, sequels, prequels and etc. don't diminish the original unless you let it.

saw the movie last night, it was a good movie. haven't seen a start trek movie in long long time so this just came across as a good movie to me, nothing more nothing less.

Jandy, my co-worker came in and I thought I was gonna have to buy him an ice cream the way he was crying and moaning. Get over it, already, it's a movie, not the Geneva Convention.
- Derrick
I get annoyed with bad remakes / reboots / sequels as much as the next guy, but a) Star Trek wasn't bad, and b) you're right, it's not like they destroyed all copies of the original. Actually, they used to do that decades ago. When they remade Gaslight in 1944, didn't they try to get rid of all the prints of the 1941 British version?

I wonder if FF snobbery is what made them pull the source icons, in order to minimize source discrimination, because it was making things insular. I wonder if they have data to see whether or not people have changed their habits with regards to liking/commenting on non-FF posts.
