Hi All,

I am thinking of implementing a 3rd party commenting system on my site, looking for opinions. Right now my site is not terribly social and I get like zero traffic. I've seen how a commenting system that integrates social features is good for traffic. There's a larger user base on the FaceBook comments, but I really like the looks of Disqus plus there is already the Disqus module available to SS. Has anyone used the Disqus comments on their site, or the Facebook comments, and can comment (ha! pun intended) on their experience? Which is the better way to go?

Thanks!

I used Disqus without the SS module here http://www.tacsi.org.au/solved and I really like it. Supporting the different sign-in methods as well as anonymous comments and Gravatar support as well as email alerts for replies and a great admin area add up to a really good comment/discussion package. It was super easy to set up straight from the Disqus website but without the SS module you need javascript enabled to see the comments - so if you have the time I'd use the module as I think it caches the comments for each page and will display them even if javascript isn't available. From memory I didn't use it only because I had non-page comment that I wanted people to be able to comment on and I think the module is focused on page objects for commenting.

yes, use disqus, it's the best out there
