I'm not sure
exactly what
you mean. But I
don't have any
experience
using a service
like disqus. In
fact, I have
not even heard
of it.
I would say
that (time
provided),
anything you
can handle
yourself you
would be better
off vs.
oursourcing
(and paying
money).

Well, as a side
project, I've
been writing a
script to
dutifully
fulfill my
blogging needs.
I'd like to
think that
eventually this
piece of
programming
will all be
polished and
put on display
somewhere, so
I'd like for
it to feel
complete and
have all the
bits and parts
that make up a
good blog
platform.
This leans me
in to the
direction of
making with the
in-house
comment
support. but
one could make
a convincing
pitch for a
service like
disqus. Through
a simple (if
slightly
under-explained
) javascript
embed, one can
have a single
point where
your personal
hand-coded blog
inherits some
pretty powerful
social
integration.
For instance,
Facebook
Connect
support,
gravitar
support, the
maybe of
getting a
higher pagerank
by riding
disqus' coat
tails. Folks
swear they get
more comments
now that they
use it. True,
I could do most
all of this
myself - but
the fact is
that scripts
like these can
easily carry
more weight
than the
collective sum
of my efforts.
So that's the
jist. I added
disqus to my
blog just to
try it out.
Still on the
fence.

I hopped over
to your link
and took a look
at the comments
section. That
is pretty handy
how you can
post from
multiple
accounts
(twitter, FB,
and so on). At
the same time,
that sort of
removes a
persons sense
of anonymity. I
could be
completely
wrong, but I
would bet that
you would see
less posts from
FB, Twitter
logins vs.
someone who
dugg your site
and wanted to
sign-up. Above
that, most
would likely
come from guest
comments (if
allowed) w/
some form of
CAPTCHA to
prevent spam
bots. But to
provide the
option of a
'social mesh'
expands the
flexibility on
commenting a
bit.
In the end, I
would say (as
it appears
you've already
done) it's
probably easy
to just
implement the
disqus
comments, and
as time
permits, you
could develop
your own.
Because again,
in my opinion,
people are
going to come
to your site
for something
unique - so any
cookie-cutter
scripts makes
what you have
no different
than the rest.
Code-on and
show 'em what
you've got!
