Episode 23 - Disqus: Part 1
Disqus provides an online service for managing comments and enhancing the discussion on blogs, websites, and applications. The system provides bloggers and publishers with a threaded conversation and a more defined discussion community, and also provides moderation and spam filtering tools. On the flip side, readers and commenters can track, manage, and verify their comments across all sites that use Disqus, and can create a profile which includes a "comment blog" with all comments they've contributed. Bloggers and readers can comment and reply on-the-go via email or phone, and since Disqus is hosted separately, comments are unaffected if a website experiences downtime. In this interview, I had the opportunity to sit down with Daniel Ha, Co-Founder & CEO, who shares details on the company's product, back-end, monetization strategy, and scalability, as well as their techniques for establishing a large user base, which now includes 38,000 websites and 600,000 user profiles.
