Disqus Updates WordPress API Plugin, Now Supports Seesmic


    StumbleUpon Digg Reddit Mixx del.icio.us MySpace Fark Facebook TwitThis Propeller Wikio Yahoo! Buzz

2.0 commenting service Disqus has updated their API WordPress plugin, adding support for Seesmic commenting.

The API version of the plugin, unlike the more commonly used Javascript version, renders text on a blog so that it can be seen by search engines, one of the main selling points for those who like the idea of using a service such as Disqus, but don’t want to lose the SEO benefits of a vibrant comment thread.

The new version is officially an “interim release” so it may have bugs (consider it a beta), but I’ve just installed it here at The Inquisitr to see how it works. The biggest reason to update: support for Seesmic commenting, a feature that has been available on the javascript version for quite some time.

Those interested can download the plugin here. Note as above: it’s offered caveat emptor, so if you experience any serious issues, be prepared to flip back to the earlier, official API release. Also Disqus CEO Daniel Ha asks that if you do spot any bugs, to let him know.

  • it would be great if typepad and blogger and wordpress.com supported disqus natively so that people who use those platforms can get their disqus comments rendered on the page instead of via javascript
  • ravm
    Yes, that would be nice. Having the comments rendered on the page is an important part of the SEO process. The use of Javascript has hindered some blogs, as the comments don't appear as page updates to the search engines, and people using commenting as a form of advanced link building get frustrated when their comment links don't appear on the page too.

  • Ive been using disqus on my blogs for months and i love it... Having everything centralised is great and a real time saver for me... you have to remember the disqus system is still in its infancy and has not yet really matured but they are working on it all the time and it just keeps getting better... Rome wasnt built in a day... Bring on the disqus revolution i say :).. I just wish they would add emoticons

  • I've been using Disqus for a few months now and just upgraded to the newest release. So far, I really can't complain. I tested both Disqus and Intense Debate, but preferred Disqus in the end. One thing I really like about Disqus is the fact that the programmers actually listen and implement suggestions from the Discus community.
  • It sure will affect very much to the culture of link building by commenting on blogs...
