Adventures of Andrew Lee: Why I Switched Comments to Disqus

  • Daniel Ha · 1 year ago
    Hey Andrew, thanks for the mention. I think you made a good call here, but honestly I'm probably a bit biased. That said, we're working hard over here to make sure we don't let you down.

    Enjoy!

    No problem Daniel. Just keep up the good work... and perhaps send some
    schwag to DC while I wait :)

    I'm glad it worked out for you. If Disqus would ditch ClickPass or at least improve it's OpenID offering, I'd be 100% happy with the service they are providing.

    Completely agree with you there RevJim. The reason why I chose Disqus
    is because I like Clickpass, but Clickpass is not even close to being
    a true OpenID offering yet.

    I disagree that ClickPass is not true OpenID. They are everything you could expect from OpenID and more. As well as being an identity provider they have optimised the user experience from the previously standard, clunky paste-your-URL-in-the-box interface to something that is several magnitudes slicker, easier and more intuitive.
    Besides, if you already have another OpenID provider there is nothing stopping you using it with the ClickPass system.
    All credit to Disqus for being forward-thinking, I would say.

    Clickpass was one of the reasons I adopted Disqus, so I definitely
    agree on its usefulness. I think RevJim and I didn't know that
    Clickpass could verify another OpenID provider (in fact, I still
    don''t know how they help other openID providers because they directly
    compete with them).

    Not sure if it makes a difference to you, but I've switched from Disqus to IntenseDebate. You can read why, here:
