Testing out Disqus. Awesome.

Totally awesome.

Thank you Dave to point out that Facebook's job is mostly dealing with the abuse. I was pointing out yesterday how that is silenced on the official blog — to stay "professional and smiling". Regarding user experience, I see great testimonies every where, both on-line and off-line.

I think that Chris is right to point out that what you are trying to do is natural on the desktop (well, the Mac actually); he should have insisted on how natural this was, in addition to what a shore it is to set up — because you can't afford major leaks. I like the evolutionnary argument, but hackers are intelligent and self-aware in a way that viruses are not.

However, the biggest lack was the absence of example of great consequences that having your data on-line rather then just saying how hard it is — "Obama administration" is certainly positive, but a little vague. How OpenID helps mediated against representative democracy? Is it a good thing to compare Zuckerberg to Montesquieu, rather then understand the details of what made Obama?
