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.
