Still using iframes, I see.

I think someone that offers the same end-user functionality as Disqus but gives the bloggers the benefit of hosting their own comments (non-iframe is important, perhaps behind-the-scenes server-to-server communication instead of client-to-server communication as I suggested on their own blog) would kill Disqus almost instantly.

Disqus 2 goes back to a proper REST API, finally. Accessibility, SEO, and a plethora of other benefits.

Javascript only APIs suck.

Shame there isn't any v2 API documentation on disqus.com yet.

Yeah, can anyone from disqus give some guidance as to when the API will be available? Curious if it's going to be days/weeks/months.

I'm just excited to play with it is all!

>Disqus version 2 eliminates what was the biggest knock on the service: That it took the comments off of your blog and put them on its own site.

Slightly tangential question - why is the .net domain being used here, and not the .com?

I start to use Disqus on my new blog on Blogger. It's wonderful.

Disqus is awesome. Is it a YC funded company?

[dnaquin → truebosko]

Yes. http://disqus.com/docs/company/

the YC press machine churns on. good coordination. time to get outside the 250.

Actually, we're up to almost 10 times that many users now!
