After many visits to the Disqus forums and multiple installations, I finally have Disqus fully and more importantly, correctly integrated within my blog. Their support staff was friendly, but they did have lacking response times. Normally, I wouldn’t think a 24hr response time to answer a support ticket was all that bad, but in the times of Twitter and the need to get blog comments up and running, 24 hours is almost too long to wait.

However, despite the installation problems and rocky support, I’ve decided to use Disqus over Intense Debate because of a few key features.

The first of these features is the Facebook and Twitter integration. Do you have a Facebook and/or Twitter account? Good. You can now use them to log in and use them to post comments. Your picture will automatically show up and you wont have to enter your name, email and website information every time you want to leave a comment. Don’t have an account with either of those services? No prob. Just keep doing the same thing you’ve been doing.

I also enabled the Seesmic video response option for you to use if you so choose. It’s a cool feature and adds a personal feel to comments and seriously if you’re not in the mood to type, now you don’t have to. If you don’t have a Seesmic account you can click here to sign up.

Do you use Disqus on your blog? Like it? Hate it? Let me know by commenting below. If you feel a little daring, leave me a video response. I’d love to see all your pretty faces!
