in Four Great Free Services You Are Likely Not Using : Simpable on Simpable
I definitely wouldn't call it wasted effort. A surprising amount of my traffic comes from search hits on comment content, like this one: http://www.google.com/search?q=invalid+json+pri...

I like Disqus, but not enough to let my comments go unindexed by Google and/or my own local full-text search. I get a nontrivial amount of Google traffic from hits on comment content (which is often better content than the post itself).

Scott Watermasysk I have heard that argument in the past as well. As John mentions, there seems to be ways to sync the comments.

However, in my opinion, being able to actually engage with users in a richer way far outweighs the SEO benefits...especially if you come to the opinion that SEO is more or less pointless wasted effort.
John Sheehan The WordPress plugin syncs any Disqus comments with the built-in comment system, so when Google hits your page, they get the same comments, just in WordPress form instead of Disqus form. http://blog.disqus.net/2008/08/12/introducing-t...

in Visual Studio 2008: First (Bad) Impressions on Just Sayin' More Words
CssClass is working as expected for me now (It quad quoted for me in Beta 2 as well).

I uninstalled everything even tangentially related to VS 2008 and/or .NET 3.5 before installing the RTM. Not sure if that made the difference, but it's an idea.

in Always implement the ToString() method on Development on a shoestring
I often find myself expanding individual nodes of quickwatch lists of objects, wasting lots of time. Your ToString() idea is a great one. I'm sure I will use it in the future. Thanks.
