CARTOON VS MAN or FUN VS NONE - http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2008...
This is too true. "Real Life" coloring books annoy(ed) the hell out of me.
- Sean Goller
Dear Disqus... I trusted you. I let you host all my comments and run the show. Now that you're down, where is the transparency? What's the uptime ETA?

Never trust a webservice ;)
- Marcus
Even their front-end site is down. That's disappointing.
- Mark Trapp
Indeed. Here's hoping they are on top of it.
- Phil G
hmmm might have to modify templates to check if the service is up before attempting to render comments
- Bwana ☠
Exactly. This was the thing most folks where wondering about, including me, so is it a service that is needed or just a better way to manage comments and where they occur?
- Tris Hussey
I'm just seeing that comments are altogether missing. e-mail receive/reply of comments has been out 12 hours-ish. : (
- Robert Seidman
Bwana, in that respect, it looks like Disqus failed catastrophically gracefully. My tumblog and looks like Louis Gray's blog don't fail as they wait for Disqus comments. They just... are missing.
- Mark Trapp
One reason why I stick with the comment features on the blog host i've been using for the last 5 years or so..
- Simon Bisson
from Alert Thingy
Mark -- agreed. The Disqus Comments Plugin is definitely handling this gracefully, in that my site still comes up and renders, albeit without comments.
- Phil G
Thanks for the update. I was wondering why I didn't have any comment. Tsk tsk.
- Corvida
http://blog.disqus.net/2008... - I think the "New Guy" broke it with his tests!

I've blamed Leo Laporte; isn't leoville using Disqus? ; )
- Dan Covington
This is Scoble's fault. I know it.
- felix
Blaming Scoble is definitely a save call.

No, it's mine, sorry ;-) http://disqus.disqus.com/conditi...

It's time for eveyone to move on and try crashing Intense Debate.

Believe I'll drop a nasty comment at disqus.com ... er, wait...

I blame society

"The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request." What about the 2nd server? You guys have a 2nd server, right?
- directeur
this is simply because Disqus users are not using the service as they expected. it isn't Disqus' fault.
- Lou Paglia
Ah ok Mark, didn't realize that. That's actually a good feature
- Bwana ☠
growing pains ...it was their turn...
- Anthony Farrior
so by one commenting system, all blogs get broken. Makes comment ownership a bit tougher
- Chris Miller
from twhirl
Such is the disadvantage of a single point of failure
- Bwana ☠
I didn't know the service was down until checking FF. I think it will be back and better than ever.
- Ryne Nelson
The last update from Disqus is that Daniel Ha was playing poker last night. I hope he didn't bet the company on a pair of 3s. http://tinyurl.com/6mazok

To anybody who slammed me for saying this about Disqus a few weeks ago, I will gladly buy you a plate of crow.
- David Risley
Louis, you posted this message 23 minutes ago, and you already have a blog post. I think you have a problem :)
- Rob Diana
LOL David

[Simpsons' Helen Lovejoy voice] Won't someone PLEASE think of the children [/Simpsons' Helen Lovejoy voice]
- Scott O'Raw
In an attempt to get more relevant, Disqus has gone offline to edit its servers so that the comment system no longer allows >140 characters.
- Dan Covington
wtf is going on? how long is this going to take? fail fail fail.
- sean808080
David, how do we know YOU didn't engineer this?
- Phil G
Phew, it's back.
- Phil G
Yup, just came back for me too
- Bwana ☠
And so FriendFeed provides yet another service as the back-up commenting channel of the Web. ;)
- Mark Dykeman
Phil, that is the question. How do you know? :-)
- David Risley
Since I'm on mobile at the moment, didn't even realize it was down.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
Wow, disqus off-line? for how long? Any lost information?
- Czar
disqus now back on line...can't wait to hear the spin on this.
- sean808080
looks like it's back up now. Hooray! :)
- felix
Rob, I wouldn't say I have a problem. It just shows I can post in about 10-20 minutes if I need to. :-)
- Louis Gray
Thought I felt comments slipping away this morning.
- Charlie Anzman
I just now received a notice on a comment reply from Disqus that was written 11 hours ago... good news being the queue is working
- Michael W. May
It was like millions of comments cried out, and were suddenly silenced?

- Frankie Warren
lol@Louis
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Yes, mcdonald's divested itself of Chipotle completely in October of 2006.

Does Friendfeed make Google Reader less relevant or more?
Chris Wetherell, Sumit Chachra, Martin Recke and 12 other people liked this
for me all those social lifestream sites, killed the RSS reader long time ago...
- Orli Yakuel
It's made it less relevant for me. By the time I get to a story in Greader, it's already been shared several times over in Friendfeed. I mainly use Greader to bookmark stories for later now.
- Mark Trapp
I'm neutral on this one, Steve. My Google Reader habits haven't changed since I started using FriendFeed.
- Bryan Person
I haven't found enough people yet for it to replace Google Reader. Lots of tech stuff here, but not the spectrum that I subscribe to in Google Reader
- Bwana ☠
They are both MicroMeme trackers http://www.web-strategist.com/blog...
- Jeremiah Owyang
Full text feeds, archiving, flagging and tagging keep me in my reader. But now I see stuff here first.
- Steve Rubel
More for me because it gives a wider audience for micro-blogging via Shared items.
- Lee Stranahan
from Alert Thingy
I think it adds more meaning to the shared items.
- Mike Wills
Less for some, more for others.
- Mike Reynolds
It has the same relevance, because it is finely tuned to my likes and dislikes. A social network... even of peers... can never replicate that. So while FF works nicely for breaking news, it won't replace the depth of knowledge I acquire from Reader
- Jamie
less. except your statement presumes that Google Reader was relevant. not.
- dave mcclure
Less for some items discussed by subscirbers and more for topics I am passionate about.
- Gerry Garcia
I might say just a bit, when twitter came along, that's where the news were breaking, the same is with friendfeed maybe even more, but good old reading of feeds is different and still part of the game
- Dobromir Hadzhiev
@Jaime - well said...thank you.
- JA Castillo
The same. Google Reader is an essential element of FriendFeed.
- Louis Gray
@Lee I agree re. shared items.@Dave Google Reader is second to Bloglines.
- Steve Rubel
I think it really adds to GReader. I share stuff all the time now with notes and its great to see it get out there and spark some conversation. It's not quite there yet to replace GReader from a usability perspective but if it did get there I would probably switch to it.
- Devlin Dunsmore
from twhirl
FF makes GReader more relevant for me. I see stories here first. I use my reader as a way to catch up on news that I may have missed.
- Alex Williams
I tried to go all FriendFeed, but found I was missing too many stories...so I'm back to using both.
- Chris Rossini
They serve different purposes for me.
- Jeff "RESPRES" Turner
from Alert Thingy
The uses are different. My primary use of Google Reader is to gather together the content I need to read. That doesn't necessarily equate to a need to solicit the reactions of others to that content. FriendFeed is handy if I do feel a need to gather reactions. But I cannot see myself giving up one for the other.
- Jill O'Neill
More relevant and useful. Reader serves as a content delivery system will FF serves as an excellent aggregator and recommendation system.
- Keith - @tsudo
from twhirl
Less, but not obsolete
- Shey, Jamaican of FF
Depends. For me, neither has a significant impact on the other. At least not yet.
- Mike Keliher
I think they are complementary in the sense that some things just don't do well in FriendFeed. I want to be able to read all of my tech news, but the friendfeed river is time-based which makes it more difficult to keep track of.
- Rob Diana
I don't think it makes it less, necessarily. After all, *someone's* got to find a story initially, right?
- Sean Goller
FriendFeed and Twitter have nearly replaced GReader for me. The trusted human filter beats scanning through 100s of posts daily to get to a gem. Hopefully not all will stop using them or the great posts will eventually dry up. Based on other comments here I might cull my subscriptions and then share more. P2P-like over me just taking and taking.
- Jay Gilmore
Less; until Reader becomes as social.
- Stowe Boyd
For my personal workflow, Google Reader feeds my blogs as well as FriendFeed. So I vote for "more." It seems easier to track shared items on Google Reader than liked items on FriendFeed.
- Ontario Emperor
from fftogo
More, for depth (and because FF adds meaning to share). But FF has it for discovery of new stuff.
- Eric Johnson
@Thomas Ho - haha...so true!
- JA Castillo
I almost completly stopped using RSS reader. I use FriendFeed and one custom news page on NetVibes....via feedalizr
- Shahar Nechmad
I don't feel it's made it less relevant, I come across blogs here that I wasn't aware of and add them to my subscriptions there!
- Joe Dawson
I want to be able to mark FF treads and ditch the ones I have viewed. Until then, I have to use my reader.
- morten saxnaes
using both but finding that I'm starting to use Google Reader differently. More like a discovery device by following search-based feeds and then using FriendFeed to follow specific humans.
- Marnie Webb
Google reader is simply another source of data for Friendfeed to aggregate. The environments can exist independent of each other. The wonderful thing about Friendfeed is that you can continue to use all your applications/data sources and have them automatically collected and displayed. Applications such as Flickr, Google Reader, and Youtube have become popular because they are good at doing specific tasks. An aggregator does not make those applications irrelevant.
- Mark Nassal
Less relevant.
- Svartling
I still use GR occasionally, but most of my information comes from FF. Digg usage way down too......via feedalizr
- David Sim
I use gReader to follow blogs I can't find in FF. Also as a discovery tool, because sometimes I share stuff from there here. Sometimes directly with gRader and sometimes using the bookmarklet. I'm using it less because of FF, though (I deleted a lot of Tech blogs subscriptions the other day).
- Alejandro
I prefer GReader to FF. It's less cluttered than FF. With FF I check in to see the things I missed in my feeds.
- Snay Trivedi
I primarily use GReader - it's easier to locate information. I just come over to FF to see what "friends" are doing.
- Kim
I agree with Snay and Kim. Comparing the 2 is like apples and oranges unless you simplify the scenario to include only breaking tech news. My scope spans far beyond that and I can't get the health, auto, environment, local, mountain bike and personal blog articles in FF that I subscribe to in GReader. I don't consider it a replacement but another way of getting information.
- Jon West
But what about using imaginary friends to pipe rss feeds in? Doesn't that allow for archiving, searching, and commenting....?
- Daniel Berman
Daniel: Yes, that's what I do in 2 of my friendfeed groups: http://friendfeed.com/newspage and http://friendfeed.com/clipote...
