Commenting on blogs is a good way of joining conversations with communities. Sharing an opinion, an experience or any kind of feedback also helps the writer learn from you. I like leaving comments whenever an article moved me. I know as a blogger, getting a comment to an article I wrote always feels great even if that person disagrees with my POV. Some bloggers will respond, some won't. It doesn't matter. Some seem to enjoy writing for themselves and can't handle any comments which may disagree with their point of view. They can get really nasty with their commenters. I usually don't go back to those blogs.
So after @Nileshbabu and I added each other to the sites we have in common from DandyID I noticed he has made as many comments as I have on blogs with Disqus which was about 25. It's a pathetic number I thought. Got to up that and do some good for the blog cause. So I issued @nileshbabu a challenge on twitter, "I challenge you to a Disqus Comment Race, whoever gets to 100 comments first WINS." It didn't matter what the prize was. Nilesh accepted the challenge and the race was on. I have to say that it was tough work, we had to hunt down sites and find those with the Disqus comment system to leave a comment. I enjoyed the hunt and Nilesh said he hadn't been to so many sites in so short a time. Nilesh has won this round. Congratulations. I had to catch up with some work and lagged behind. I was also happily sharing all the cool sites I came across while I was on this quest and wasted some precious time. Disqus Comments is a comment system and moderation tool for websites. This service adds next-gen community management and social web integrations to any site on any platform. Hundreds of thousands of sites, from small blogs to large publications, rely on Disqus Comments for their discussion communities.
And I wish Posterous use Disqus too.
