Using Disqus Comments

I am trying out the Disqus comment system. I saw it a while back on Fred Wilson's blog and was intrigued. This morning, dreaming with my product management hat on, I began to wonder if you could leverage the API to extend video comments into embeded players, allowing a single train of comments to follow a video around and have a static place on the web. Interesting idea...going to be experimenting.

I should say, however, that comment management is really a full time job for publishers with a large audience and I am not sure how this would go over well. Interesting concept...wonder if the using key audience members to be moderators, and utilizing Disqus' moderator assignment, would work well together? Hmmm....

May be time to give them a ring to discuss...
