I plugged my Disqus account into friendfeed (which gets posted to twitter) so my comments pretty much follow me everywhere. Now I gotta be more careful not to put my foot in my mouth, as I have done on so many occasions. :P

Will comments on Digg with replies be threaded properly when viewed in a blog post?
mashable

Not yet, although that would be a great addition. Here's an example of a post that got Dugg:
(click "more social comments" to see all the Digg comments beneath the trackbacks and Tweets)
mashable
· 9 months ago
By the way, since it's gonna take a few mins to go out and find all the social media comments on this post, you can already see examples on every other Mashable post. For example, here's a bunch of Tweets about our Mashable Facebook post:
I hate to be a party pooper, but while this is technically a great achievement, it is for the most part utterly useless. I would be far more impressed if you just gave me links to the respective discussions of Digg, Reddit, FF, etc. As it stands now, you're showing me a gigantic list of near-duplicate comments, which I cannot sort, filter, or group. Basically, it's too much information.
I don't understand what you expect me to do with hundreds of tweets that say the same thing... the title of the URL, and a tinyurl. Is it just to show me how many different people have tweeted this page? I cannot even click through to their profile, or see their avatar. Pointless.
Like I mentioned before, a useful version of this would to show me meta-information from each of the networks. How many people have Tweeted this URL, 2 example (unique) tweets, and a link for the rest. How many people have Dugg this story, and commented on it? 2 example comments, and a link for more. Same for all other networks.
There's no point to having a list 500 items big, where my only possible interaction is reading the same thing over and over again. Sure, technically it's "cool" because you've manage to scrape other web services, but seriously, it's not useful.

I agree - there's got to be a non-cluttered way to show all this without seeing tons of people saying the same thing.

Agree. A little excercise usable for ego tracking but not userfriendly at all. Very messy. Perhaps rather have an optional cloud at the bottom.
baratunde

i very much agree with this comment as well. i'd add that the PRIORITY should have been on measuring, reporting and linking to social media conversation. Then a later option would be to "expand" that report to show the actual data. Do you realize how many garbage comments there are on Digg and YouTube? As a publisher, I'm most interested in the data and ACCESS to the conversation, not the raw data of the conversation dumped on my site

Just looking down this list of comments I think it's quite easy to see what the issue is going to be. I'm sure you'll get to select which social media systems to include, so It'll interesting to watch which applications people end up importing into their blog comments. IMHO, for example, I can only hope that most sites using this don't incorporate the Twitter stream. Twitter is not a great platform for commenting, and I think you'd distract from worthwhile comments. Does disqus allow tracking of comments on sites that don't have their comments powered by disqus? Like coComment for instance?

Nice ;) Look forwatd to seeing what impact this has on people's ability to follow the threads of a conversation ;)
mashable
· 9 months ago
That's the next challenge. Getting all the comments together is hard enough: think of all the TinyURLs and other short URLs people post to Twitter which need to be found for this to work at even a basic level. Then add in the complexities of working with every other social site. But it's cool to finally take the feature live and see where people want to take it to next.

So I share this page on Twitter and that tweet shows up on this page? Novel idea. What happens when I use TinyURL or one of the billion URL shortening services? Furthermore what happens when this hits the front page of Digg and 200 comments are made on top of all the comments Mashable generates. This is going to be a busy busy noisy place.
All that said. Efffing brilliant man!!!
mashable

It works with TinyURL and the billion other URL shortening services. (Well, maybe not the billionth one, but many of them!)

Excellent. Cause I have a URL shortening service too. mind adding it? http://mroing.com Regards :D
While you're waiting, you can see a few FriendFeed comments intermixed with this social media comments thread (click "show all social media comments"):
Hey, not bad..not bad at all! By the way, are your comment numbers going to reflect all comments including social media ones?

I like the sound of this a lot. I'd love to see all the comments from the various services put into one list instead of separated into chunks like here. Is that possible, is that a good thing? Either way I hope I can integrate this into my site soon as I'm currently testing one of the FF Comments plugin atm which works really well. :-)
I'm sure this is very complicated by I'd love to see a way to reply to a Digg comment, for example, and for that reply to sync to digg.com.

Disqus is an amazing concept that will help tie conversations together. I can tweet this, which will be picked up in my friend feed and my blog, but then it will post directly to my blog through discus which will be picked up by twitter using twitter tools for wordpress, then other aggregation points i forget about will grab it and re-tweet it, so in leaving one comment, I will potential cause the universe to implode...I may be to integrated...I just need to let discuss and ping.fm do it all for me.

Well, I gave it a serious test drive and I give it a FAIL. I commented in FriendFeed, tweeted the link here to twitter, retweeted Mashable, posted it to friendfeed again when it failed the first time and Stumbled it with a review comment (I thought this was going to be brilliant). Not sure how it's selecting what to show, but nothing I did on social media about this post was ever included here.

The feature is of course very new, and there’s much more that could be done with this novel concept: replying to 3rd party comments on Mashable and having your reply posted back to the 3rd party site, for instance. We’re also still working on adding your Twitter avatars. It’s by no means perfect yet: there are lots of tweaks mocospace.com we’re still working on, and I’m sure you can name many more features you’d like to see.

I just started using Disqus and love it. I really like the fact that you control your own comments and can go and edit them later (I'm a shocker for typos). The ability for people to reply to other peoples comments is also very useful and it helps create sub conversations between readers.
What a great idea. I see Google Wave is working towards a similar type of application. Interesting times ahead.
