Disqus, pronounced “discuss”, is a service and tool for web comments and discussions. The Disqus comment system can be plugged into any website, blog, or application. Disqus makes commenting easier and more interactive, while connecting websites and commenters across a thriving discussion community.
It currently powers the discussion on thousands of blogs and now with the “Disqus Comment System for Joomla!” plugin by JoomlaWorks it’s easy to add Disqus on any Joomla! website or blog!
Disqus is a free service to the general public with absolutely no inline advertisements. Take the tour on http://disqus.com/tour/ or signup for an account right away on http://disqus.com

WHY CHOOSE DISQUS? HIGHLIGHTS OF THE DISQUS COMMENT SYSTEM
Web comments can be difficult for both websites and their readers. We think Disqus is the solution. Disqus makes it easier for people to comment and track their contributions on a single profile which they can display as a comment blog. After all, there is no difference between a great comment and a great published article.
Disqus makes managing discussions on one or multiple websites painless. Enjoyable, even. With a powerful and intuitive admin interface, Disqus allows website owners to spend time elsewhere while Disqus takes care of the comments.

I also like the Disqus plugin as a web surfer. But I don’t use it in my own websites.

If you’re still on the fence: grab your favorite earphones, head down to a Best Buy and ask to plug them into a Zune then an iPod and see which one sounds better to you, and which interface makes you smile more. Then you’ll know which is right for you.

Each article I have read is well written and to the point. I would also like to state, not only are the posts well written, but the lay-out of your site is excellent. I was able to navigate from article to article and find what I was looking for with ease. Keep up the excellent work you are doing, and I will be back many times in the near future.
