Re: Disqus Forks Into Two Products, Launches Revamped Real-Time Comment System

I have integrated Disqus into many sites but never got the hang of using it as a user (beyond leaving the occasional comment here and there of course). Empowering commenters seems to be as good a thing as empowering site owners was and I can't wait to try it out.

I am with Cheeky_geek on this. That is one service finally figured out. Better late than never I guess :) While you are at it: How about retracting that lamenting about the 5000 friends limit on facebook next?

Twitter made a very conscious effort to nurture these applications - and they still do.

Twitter has designed a very clever tool and despite the various bumps in the road they have clearly made some good decisions. Good design is not about leaving everything optional and up to the user but to make the right choices for users so they do not have to. So if one feels the need to follow all their followers simply to make them feel good (because it is not practical to really follow thousands of people) I think Twitter is totally right to take measures to stop that.

This is just like the 5000 friends cap on facebook were some very vocal user made a lot of noise. There the answer was not to up the limit but to change the paradigm by introducing fan pages to the mix.

Spontaneous adaption, evolving new behaviours and constructing new meanings from new symbols seem to me to be distinctly human activities. Not at all machine like. Rather than being evidence of some kind of regressive mechanization of humanity by and for the machines this simply appears to be further proof of human adaptability and inginuity. Traits beyond the reach of any near future machine.

That said, perhaps Twitter could do away with the symbols with a little help from http://www.wolframalpha.com/

I would consider the @ in twitter superior to any kind of interface solution trying to achieve the same. It is like a shorthand for something that would be very clumsy to put in natural language. Making functionality part of the language and as such easy to parse is not a a bad thing. Neither is it automatically good - but here it really works.

Also worth noting are clever things like the new gmail search (via the lab) that suggest rather clever search strings based on your clumsy human attempts to control the beast.

And as for hashtags - twitter search is now so powerful that most things that warrant a # work just fine without.

All in due time :)

Hi Danny - I am sorry you have had a bad experience. I am inclined to assume it was a temporary glitch as we monitor the site from both Europe and the US and have not experienced any significant slowdowns. We will check our logs and will also see if we can speed things up anyway.
