A New Disqus Order
Monday, September 28, 2009 at 6:00AM
TBL (The Broken Link) has been getting a bit of traffic of late, something that is welcome and amazing. Posts on Security and the new Broken-People, Broken-Tech and Broken-planet blogs seem to generating interest.
The one thing that I've been missing on the site is "the conversation", the new critical part of any online adventure, thanks Jeff Javis. The conversation is the comments, the Digg's, the Stumbles and the tweets. It is made up of thoughts committed to neurons on Facebook and Friendfeed. If this conversation is not brought back to the site, then how can the users of the site benefit, and/or participate?
I have played with Disqus before but wasn't thinking much about a comments system with the move to Squarespace, mainly because there was a lot of other things to think of. But as I am more and more seeing the point and purpose of "the conversation", which is becoming the new point of the internet, I've been looking for a easy way to involve and capture TBL's part in that conversation.
So I have added Disqus to the site for comments in hopes of doing the above. Of course I forgot for the second time that your existing comments disappear. There is going to be a couple of teething issues, like with any new addition to a site. I have to say though, adding Disqus was a piece of cake, so I'm hoping the rest goes as well.
Please comment and be a part of the TBL conversation.

...if it ain't broken, do as Leo Laporte does, use Disqus.
