Shey Smiths blog really rocks
May 20th
I stumbled across this blog on my friendfeed account a few days ago and it’s been a daily read ever since.
It’s http://sheysmith.com
Today he’s talking about tomorrow’s twit out and friendfeed and social networking. He’s doing an amazing job on this blog and it’s become a daily read.
And he turned me on to disqus!
Disqus was the topic on today’s net@nite with Amber and Leo and at first glance it’s something you don’t need, as Leo observed. But, on closer examination, it’s a great comment system for blogs that integrates video and ties comments in to social networks.    And best of all, it connects you to a community of blog commentors like Shey Smith.
let the good comments roll with diskus!

I have to admit to being a comment poor blog. And I’m remiss in not putting akismet and disqus on here sooner. Tonight akisment gave 32,000 plus spam comments a beating. They’re gone. Room now for your comments and disqus should make things a lot more interesting.
I got turned on to the disqus comment system by Shey Smith on his most excellent blog, http://sheysmith.com and got really motivated to install it when I heard Leo Laporte and Amber Macarthur rolling in the aisles over this on their net@nite podcast broadcast live today. It helped push me more that Dave Winer, grandaddy of rss and blogs, is using this as well.
Disqus brings video comments, along with a community of commenters, better comment formatting, and much more. And the wordpress plugin install was as easy as could be.
