DISQUS and Facebook Connect under the mistletoe

Facebook Connect is new technology that allows websites and blogs to plug into the Facebook platform. This holiday season, Disqus will enable all websites with Disqus-powered comments to easily integrate with Facebook Connect.

Wait a tick… What does that mean?

  • Commenters can login using their Facebook profiles
  • Comments post to the Facebook news feed

Facebook Connect isn’t completely live on Disqus yet, but you can get started right now. Website owners should enter a Facebook API key on their settings page. This will turn on Facebook Connect support for your site when it’s ready. We will begin enabling Facebook Connect for sites with API keys in place.

The wait is almost over! By the end of 2008, everyone will be able to have Facebook Connect integrated with Disqus. Be sure to add your Facebook API key in your settings and when we launch you’ll be ready.

If you do not already have a Facebook API key, the best way (right now) is to fill out a “Create Application” form and use http://disqus.com/ as the Callback URL.

In addition to Connect initial support, look forward to more features such as account-linking, friend-finding, and more goodness in the future.

  • Sounds great, I really like Disqus but was concerned Facebook Connect could impact its growth, now I have set my Facebook API look forward to the change

    Everyone will be able to have Facebook Connect integrated with Disqus. This is really very good to hear about. If account-linking and friend-finding will also be added as its feature, it would really going to be rocking.

  • Will there be integration with the pages feature of Facebook, so many apps seem to neglect that aspect.

    For myself I have a facebook profile, and then a facebook page for my company/blog. Everything wants to try and put itself under my profile, and I really don't want that.
  • You are right Facebook Connect is really an awesome plugin. Nice efforts.
  • for some reasons on my blog after sending the comment it doesn't show my avatar or name, but only my facebook id: "facebook-548977257" i am connected and also i can send my comment to publish on my facebook wall, no problem.
    i only miss my name & foto in the comment. any idea what could be the problem?
    thanks! anyway, it´s a great tool!!
  • ok i see it doesn't work here eather... does this have something to do with my facebook account? some privacy settings maybe?
  • blogs
    Thank you very much for that! Very helpful.

  • facebook and disqus joined forces wow this is definitely great, looking forward for more of their features together,
  • thanks for this
  • Was completely thrown at the beginning about whether to have separate moderator accounts for different sites since we use gravatars and wpmu icons, NOW with another avatar in disqus I'd like some direction. My clients rely on me to make this work BUT the real question is, if they don't want to moderate their own blog, it will be I that shows up in their stead. hmmmm any thought on having interchangeable/multiple identities??? myOpenid does provide some level of the functionality I'm speaking to. Stressed? me?

    And, fb on two sites in two days and have my logo on my app page in facebook. and it shows in my facebook stream, like that for my own blog. Also did the Twiiter login same as use here so my sites commenting system exactly replicates Disqus except for seesmic so far . . . I'm integrating two flash components for my clients which provides self branding media delivery using slideshowpro for ad banners and stable media delivery.
  • Your clients can add you as a moderator on their sites here:
    http://disqus.com/admin/permissions/ or you can be the moderator owner
    of all the sites and add your clients as moderators. We also use
    gravatars with our accounts as well.

    Can you elaborate on the second paragraph of your question?

  • My facebook comments are not getting published back to facebook. My key is correct and other methods have worked for me. Specifically jwarlok works well and is disabled as I try to get this working.
  • I'm looking into your problem and will shoot you an email when it's solved.

  • Thanks, I may have resolved it. It seems to be working now, though maybe a a bit inconsistent. Some comments don't seem to get posted. should I notice a delay?

    I'm using a joomla plugin, as well as code integrated in my template. so far so good.
