OK, trackbacks are OK, but there are lot more nice features on Disquss, like reply to comment etc

I have been considering installing DISQUS
I have a gadgets blog / site with very few commenting activity, I was hoping the “conversation” nature of disqus would entice visitors to comment

Thanks also for pointing out the good and the bad of this plugin

Why is this post getting so much “attention” lately? We still use Disqus, so . . .

Yeah, trackbacks are nice, but not historic, e.g. this post has a couple that won't be captured by the Disqus feature. So, I'm keeping the WP plugin for now.

They say im/export are coming soon, and they're pretty responsive to feedback. So, we'll see.

New Disqus user here…both as blogger and commenter. Looks like they did get the trackbacks in place but we still don't have an import tool for Wordpress blogs to get old comments in. Not huge for my tiny blog but I can see how that's a show stopper for many. Hopefully that'll be added real soon…

I'm happy with what Andrew says in his comments about data portability. I'm content to wait and see new features for now.

They aren't of course. But nor are they in the “erect a barrier to using Disqus” business.

Hrm, I guess I'll keep using the hack for historical trackbacks then, or something. Is this planned? Not a huge deal.

Glad you're willing to listen to my whining. I'll try not to wear out my welcome.

Unfortunately, for this first trackbacks release, we won't be able to detect them for previous posts. Please keep giving us feedback (what you call whining and we'll keep trying to make sure you're happy.

It is a free service after all. I actually preferred when Twitter just went offline for no apparent reason. Now the mystery is gone, and they just continue to confirm how hosed they are.

I appreciate that you guys engage whiners like me with real feedback.

Brilliant ! Signed - a fellow whiner. You have to keep these developer types on their toes

Native trackbacks, FTW! The hack I got from Daniel (by Steve) is great, but the links are trickling in slowly, not sure why. Rather than muck around to figure it out, I'm stoked to hear you're deploying trackbacks soon. I assume they will pick up all the trackbacks for past posts, and that you're using the blog's trackback db, rather than your own?

Glad to hear about imp/export too. Those are key points. I wouldn't blame you for making it hard to get comments out of Disqus. So, gravy to hear that's on the radar.

Also glad to hear you're growing, which will help close the feature gaps. I appreciate that you guys engage whiners like me with real feedback.
