In an e-mail to the Disqus community today, Daniel Ha introduced a variety of features that have been added to the commenting platform over the past few weeks (and seem to have have been overlooked by many).
For those of you that haven't noticed ... Disqus went real-time some time ago. Comments appear instantaneously and can be imported by a variety of platforms, many now also in real-time.
About a week ago, Disqus added Yahoo! alongside Twitter, OpenID and Facebook (and their own log-in) for commenting on Disqus - enabled websites.
There are also new plug-ins available for WordPress and Movable Type as well as new comment importers.
Finally, the 'reaction list' is now HUGE and includes Friendfeed, Twitter, Digg, Reddit, Hacker News, Blogger, WordPress, YouTube, Vimeo, Picasa, Flickr, Typepad, Movable Type and others.
I have enabled Yahoo! along with the recently released Narcissus theme in the comments below as an example (along with Facebook log-in which is now functional here).
You can view all of the recent changes to Disqus here or follow the Disqus blog here.
Have a great weekend all
Charlie
