Discussing Disqus

Jul 3 2009 / 5:29 pm Was written by Amber View Comments

While we still dig the idea of what Disqus does, it is about time for us to reevaluate the necessity of it.  To be honest, it was installed in an attempt to gain conversation.  When conversation did not happen, it didn’t bother me that no one was talking, but it felt like we put this [...]
