Disqus 2.0, Featuring WordPress Comment Synching
Disqus, the excellent service that we use for our comments on this blog, just got even better with today’s launch of Disqus 2.0. It features a new WordPress plugin that allows you to sync your comments on Disqus with your WordPress database. They have also improved comment integration in the WordPress dashboard, along with performance and UI enhancements. If you were on the fence about using Disqus for your WordPress blog, now is a great time to give it a try.
Disqus has also re-worked their user profiles, turning them into comment blogs that track your comment activity, as well as updates on other social networks like Twitter, Facebook, etc. If you ever comment on blogs that use Disqus, you should claim your comments. Here’s my profile on Disqus.

That’s great - it will definitely help adoption. I didn’t jump on the Disqus bandwagon because it didn’t sync with the internal comment system - this sounds like the right step for them. Cheers!

I am having some issues with the Wordpress plugin, but they say they have found the problem and they are working it out now.
I am looking forward to the new features.

I sometimes comment on disqus blogs, why should we claim an account? Can someone else claim and edit our comments?

What happens if you don't claim, can someone else claim?
