Updated popup profiles: View recent comments and Twitter status

To bring up someone’s mini profile, you can hover your mouse cursor over his/her picture or name. The mini profiles were relatively incomplete when we released it, only serving to show other profiles and services that a commenter used or had on the web.

Our latest update adds a couple things that, together, should increase the mini profile’s usefulness factor by at least 68% (rough estimate). Bring up someone’s mini profile to view the last few things they’ve said across blogs using Disqus. If he added Twitter to his Disqus profile, you can view his current status as well.

  • The most interesting is possibility to see all comments of everybody left.

    Users could perhaps set what they would like to show in their mini profiles. Some might feel that if showing their information are invading their privacy but some might just want to let people know who they are
  • I felt that mini profile should be something that allows other people to see their personal profile to get a better understanding of what the person is. It shows that we are still needed to click in for more information.

    This mini profiles are to show the comments of what the user recently remarked on. It’s good for those people who enjoy reading a particular commenter’s comment. These features might be a good support for the friend’s feed attribute.

  • Pop up profiles are really useful to get quick review of the user, and his style of conversation by looking at some recent comments. The Disqus itself along with all the add-ons is a very useful tool. Has made blogging a lot more easier. To follow your comments and replies have never been this easier.

  • Its fine with me and I have no problem with it. Some sites have pop-up ads all over the contents that it can gets very annoying but they failed to realize it. The high percentage of bounce rate would be testimony to that!

  • Foolish question...how do you integrate Disqus with services like facebook and twitter so they show up in your mini-profile. All I have are boxes to check for these services, but I see no where to input the usernames for these sites?
  • Nevermind I figured it out...just doesn't work in explorer...DUH!

  • Daniel that sounds fantastic. Thank You very much.
  • We are looking to make this an option to disable.

    Thanks!

  • I really like Disqus and perhaps the only thing I don't like at all is the popup profile. I too would like to able to turn it off, or configure it so that the user can pull up the profile by clicking on a link, which to me is part of the standard web interface 101. It doesn't even seem possible to personalize the CSS to turn it off. Very disappointing. I had a user today saying on Twitter that the popup annoyed him so much he decided not to comment.

  • Agreed - I need to be able to turn the pop up off. I can't see whether people have a URL or not and every time I hover a user name, the popup goes on and won't come off.

    I thought I saw super mini profiles that kind of drop down under the avatar image, but I can't find where to get that installed. Anyone know? It seems that with that version, the popup didn't come up. I see it being used on Inquisitr:

  • It'd be great if there was a way to integrate Facebook statuses (or any RSS feed) into the "Status" instead of just Twitter (particularly given all of Twitter's troubles lately).
  • I love this feature! It's the main reason I've started using Disqus on my new blog. Great work guys
  • I'm really digging the Twitter integration!
  • Ken
    Having the profiles pop-up just by mouse-over-ing them is bad enough -- having to then explicity close them by clicking a close button is a disaster. Please fix this!
  • I lean toward suggesting this also, but I'm willing to hear the other side of the argument (i.e. people who move their mouse away and still want the mini profile to be visible).
  • I think the best option here is to put a settings link on the mini-profiles to disable them on a per user basis. Something similar to what I saw yesterday on one of those annoying web snapshot things. It had the option to disable the boxes for one link or all links, this page or all pages, just for today or permanently. You could give them a register link in the settings (that opens in a new window please) and tell them that if they didn't want to register with Disqus that the settings would be cleared when their cookies were deleted. That *should* satisfy everyone and bring more users to Disqus.

  • Ha! I'd love to check out how the Twitter status thing is working, but I guess that depends on, ya know, Twitter itself not being all borked tonight. sigh. Good innovation though, thanks :)
  • B42
    Sweet, I'm still new here but adding tweets status has to be a good thing :)
  • Great post. Thanks for sharing.
  • I don't know about anyone else, but I get really annoyed whenever that huge box pops up, obscuring what I was trying to read... and now it's even bigger. Please tell me there's a planned option to disable it altogether!
  • Probably soon.
  • Probably soon.
  • Awesome work. I actually prefer my users to be commenting in an almost Facebook-dimension of the blog community. The more apps you bring into Disqus, the better. I'd like to never have to use Facebook and just center my community around my blog with the added dimension of Disqus. Freakin-sweet!
