Gathering The Pulse Of Your Blog Around The Internet With Disqus

Disqus recently announced a kool new feature for everyone called "social media reactions" which basically takes all the conversation going on about your posts around the interwebs and brings them to you and your disqus account.

Social Media Reactions, a new feature on Disqus that aims to connect the discussion on your site with the scattered conversations occurring everywhere else on the web. Today, people have many tools available to discover, read, and discuss great content. Blog posts and articles can be mentioned on Twitter, commented about on Digg, and even shared across FriendFeed. Now, these social media reactions can be connected back to your site keeping the conversation together. When your posts are being discussed on Twitter and Digg, these tweets and comments will appear within your Disqus powered comment thread.

Another new feature disqus rolled out was the ability to tweet your comments you make via the service to your twitteraccount to help keep your friends upto date on what you might be commenting about and maybe get some more discussion going from your other followers.

If you are not a disqus user but are interested in features like this you should check out BackType as it does a lot of the same things.

Shortly, we'll be announcing a BackType Connect plugin that offers the same promise of functionality on top of the native WordPress comment system — so it will work with other comment plugins as well. You can see ours running on that blog post.

Disqus now brings us the ability to comment using your Twitter account. You don’t have to give up your actual Twitter credentials since Disqus takes advantage of Twitter’s support
