Export comments to XML; Community forum

This is just a small Monday morning update to start the week off. Last night, we made available the feature to export all of your content from Disqus in XML format. This is accessible under Integration Settings. We don’t believe in data lock-in and wanted to make sure this was immediately available. There is a lot more underway with exporting and importing to specific publishing platforms, and we’ll have that accessible in the near future.

Kerro, a new Disqus member, thought it was a good idea to start a community area for bloggers and webmasters. Ideally, here people can help each other strengthen and promote their blogs through the power of the Disqus network. We think it’s a good idea as well — feel free to contact Kerro if you’d like to help maintain the community forum.

    A place for interaction and promotion is good. This also helps Disqus in gaining traffic flow to their website or forums. Will definitely give my fullest support!

  • It’s a pity that I doesn’t have time to spare for maintaining a community. However, this is a great idea for promoting and strengthening. People can also exchange pointers to build up knowledge too.

    Its great to have back up plans for comments system. Nobody knows what might happen. Its good for those who wants to save up the comments and won't blame on Disqus if there are any problems to it.

  • does Disqus support import of CAIF formatted comments from another system?

    I need to dump enetation for something else.

    How much profit do you make from a site that gets 100 non-spam comments/day? I don't like the idea of you getting access to all my traffic, but if you paid out a % of your advertising I could be interested in some kind of deal. I like the threads and if this thing will actually help me moderate things quicker, but that functionality is not worth giving away traffic, control of content and design.
  • Hi PJ,

    Thanks for chiming in. I'd like to clarify some things about our content policy, but instead of describing the all the nuances, I'd just like to make clear that we do not make any claims or locks on traffic, content, or design.
