Recently, we’ve been organizing and prioritizing bugs and features for Disqus. Above is a glimpse at some of the tickets in our bug tracker as of this morning. If you’ve ever emailed us a feature suggestion or even passively made a request on your blog, we heard you and have made note!

One thing that we have been giving a lot thought to is the notion of community. A goal with Disqus is make it incredibly effortless for blogs to build their communities. Currently, many of our new blog friends are jumping on board for the powerful simplicity of the comment system. Moving forward, we’d like to place more emphasis on the ability to track comments and replies. We have plenty of ideas around this and hopefully we can show you soon.

This morning, I read this story on TechCrunch about people trolling through blog comments. When we started Disqus, one of the promises we wanted to make was the ability to curb comment trolling. We were starting a service that focused completely on improving web discussions; who better to address this than us? So we built a reputation system (Clout, we call it) into the backend of Disqus that goes beyond the typical nominal people scoring mechanisms of many sites. I’m happy to say that we’re starting to see people on Disqus make good use of that system. As Disqus grows, we’ll keep an eye on how the entire community interacts with it and how much value site owners get out of it.

The last “T” in this post is “Turkey.” That is, have a wonderful Thanksgiving to everyone out there that celebrates it.
