Upgraded to Disqus 2012
Did you notice anything different with the comments section for each post? Pulpconnection’s comment engine has been upgraded to the beta version of Disqus 2012. I’ve been using Disqus for some time after switching from Intense Debate. So far, I’m liking the improvements this newer version of Disqus brings, namely the consolidated area for comments and community.
At its core, Disqus handles blog post comments aka Discussions.
But now there are additional tabs bringing you closer to related activities like viewing Top Discussions and Top Commenters. In the past, this information was available but typically in separate widgets.
You can also vote on comments and easily share them in your other social circles. With these added features, I might take out the Recent Comments in the right sidebar.
Until Disqus 2012 is released to the general public, you can request an invite (my request took about 2 days before I was invited).
