Tea with an early Disqus user, Dhrumil

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to meet Dhrumil and Nirav, who both work on WeLikeitRaw.com. Dhrumil is a very early user of Disqus and has been very encouraging and helpful to us along the way. He’s been one of the most passionate members of Disqus to date.

We had noon tea at The Imperial Tea Court and talked about Disqus, startups, and the raw food lifestyle. They’re doing some great stuff over at WeLikeitRaw and it’s even gotten me interested in the raw philosophy. But I digress.

It was especially nice to hear what Dhrumil likes most about Disqus. I love hearing about how Disqus works for people. One of the features that he’s most excited about is the ability to comment through email or through a mobile phone without having to muddle through a phone browser.

When a reader from WeLikeitRaw makes a comment, Dhrumil gets that delivered to him on his mobile phone, which he can then post a response by replying to the email. Here at Disqus HQ, Jason and I have been talking about the direction that Disqus is heading in, and it most definitely involves a heavier focus on fixing mobile conversations on blogs and websites. If you don’t have this enabled yet for your account, take a look in your account settings.

I hope I’ll be able to hear more Disqus stories from you all in the future!

  • We're also pushing all of our new clients at DBoost.com to start using disqus.

    Recently we started working with the Craigslist Foundation and the wanted to start a tumblr to talk about the progress of building their new site: http://craigslistfoundation.tumblr.com/

    They wanted a simple and easy to use commenting system, so of course we recommended disqus.
  • Daniel,

    It was a blast meeting you. And yes, I am a passionate disqus user because this commenting system rocks! Easier to use comments = more visitors coming back to our site. That's always good news.
