We’ve been pretty quiet this past week but it has been for good reasons. The team has been working hard on a solution for the rise in spam, finishing our Facebook Connect integration, and warmly welcoming our new back-end developer Devin Naquin.

Devin was an intern during the Summer of 2008 at Disqus and developed the reblog functionality we now all enjoy. We’re all really excited to have him on the team but I will let him introduce himself more.

I will have more updates about the status of our improvements to the handling of spam and the integration of Facebook Connect next week.

Oh yeah, I will be having a Disqus contest next week, so keep your eyes peeled!

Cheers,
