Push my follow

This morning I spoke with a couple Disqus users about our service and to my surprise none of them knew about our Follow option on the profile page. It’s a great way to keep tabs on your friends and find conversations that may interest you.

What does +Follow do exactly?

  • Following a user allows you to view their recent comments on your friends comment stream.
  • The Follow button is located on every users profile page.
    (We plan to make it more accessible whilst viewing sites in future releases)
  • You can view your comments and your friends comments from your dashboard.

What’s the difference between a friend and a fan?

  • A Friend is someone that follows you and you follow them back.
  • A Fan is someone that follows you but you don’t follow them back.

We would really love to hear your feedback about this option and what you like/dislike about it. Your feedback is very valuable to us and helps the site improve the way you like it.

Push your friends follow,

Giannii

    I think the follow comments is really a great idea. I will definitely have to pass this around!acai berry
  • But how come they don't know this awesome feature? Disqus creators are really brilliant on coming up with this idea
  • This is a very useful option to have. I have a few friends whose comments I always like to follow, so having this function is a single, easy function really aids usability for me. Thanks!Toronto Real Estate Agent

    The Indian middle class is prospering, with around 70 million households earning anywhere between Rs 80,000 and Rs 180,000
    per annum. These comprise 34% of the middle class of slightly over 200 million. India’s urban population is the second
    largest in the world, greater than the combined urban populations of all countries except China, the US and Russia.
    Overall, consumers’ spirits are high, which has led to significant growth in many sectors of consumer goods and continued
    growth for the toys and games market.
  • Ding ding ding we have a winner!
  • Yes :p That will be a huge marketing exposure ;)

    That "then post a tweet to them using #disqus hash" could be something like: "Hi {friend's name here}, I added you/following your Twits via DISQUS! Check it out {some link here} #disqus"

    ;)

  • I feel quite smug now. I found it on day one, however, it did take a little longer to understand how disqus worked. One feature I love is the recent comments wiget; I've added it to my blog and it's breathed life into it having the recent comments listed down the sidebar. Thanks.
  • I liked the idea of Disqus but was a littel dissappointed when I click on my blog to read comments, it sits there for the longest time trying to load. And when I try to reply to comments it looks like it hasn't posted. But I go to the home page and there it is!

    Well, Twitter uses "following/followers", too. But I like "likes posts from" and "these posters like posts from" or perhaps "subscribes/subscriber to" or "recommends/is recommended by". Maybe it's just me.

    I like the feature, as there are posters who typically reply to what I write and vice versa, but "follow" sounds so stalkerish. Can't we call it something else?

    I like many of you who is reading this, was overweight and was not happy with my body shape. I did try several weight loss programs and diets with no benefit. My life changed when I saw Dr. Oz talking good things about the berry supplement and thought to give it a try. I went ahead and got the free trial of Acai Berry supplement and colon cleanse. It complete changed my life. You should check out my story from fat to fit at and try the Acai Berry free!
  • I love your service. I particularly enjoy how it pops up on so many blogs. Blogs I've never visited previously have my avatar and comment box sitting there at the bottom of the page, as if inviting me to write something. As I just have!
