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.
Key benefits for Websites, Publishers, Bloggers

Simple to install and works well. Just setup an account at disqus and type in your username in the extension plugin settings.

This is a fantastic plugin. Top marks to JoomlaWorks. Would be even better if I could work out how to import my old JomComment comments to Disqus? If you're reading this and know how, drop me a line!

I like it, the way it looks and works but weak point is i still cant find the documentation so had to rnd myself..

I've been using the first version for a while, on a limited basis. I was very happy with it's ease of use and implementation but the single biggest downfall was not having the ability to turn on comments based on categories/sections/pages etc. The new version now allows selection by either category or menu item. This was the last piece of the puzzle to make this a first class plugin. Disqus/Facebook/Twitter login options work seamlessly. The only issue I had was with uninstalling the previous version. I had to manually delete the old directory in order to complete the upgrade.
Sign up for a Disqus account and give this plugin a try. It's simple and well worth it.

Works out of the box - you obviously have to create a Disqus account first, but it is a powerful commenting system which is configurable from the Disqus site. Early days but no spam yet! Thank you.

This plugin allows the addition of a commenting system with great ease - and it works perfectly!
Add in the Twitter / Facebook sync and you've got a great social tool .. all for free!
Thanks for the great addition JoomlaWorks!!

We've released v2.0 fully integrating Disqus features as well as new options for Joomla!. Enjoy!

I was looking for a commenting component ( very few good ones ) and I thought I'd give this a shot, seeing how this developer has plenty of very nice extensions for Joomla. It wasn't what I was looking for and I for the life of me couldn't uninstall it. It said the plugin was removed but the comment for remained on the site until I had to manually delete files and install a different extension.

Hi folks,
I think this is a great plugin to be able to integrate excellent online service at disqus.com.
But I do NOT USE this trick without the ability to assign section/category to specify where to display...
Sorry guys but this is very important for joomla site.

As the title says - this plugin simply works! A seamless integration between joomla and disqus

I have problems with Internet Explorer 6 and 7. The browser freezes. No problem with Firefox, Opera and Safari.
JW has insured that with the version 1.1 the issue would have disappeared, but there is still.
However, it is a great idea, especially because DISQUS is a great comments system. We look forward of the improvements!

I have gone down the line of comment systems, was able to install most of them, but they just would not work for the life of me. I am having an ftp problem, not sure. So I tried this one, it rocks, and you get a little more out of its use. More exposure anyhow. Great job.
bybaijianpeng on June 27, 2008
I want to use Disqus plugin. But I noticed that the frontend interface of Disqus comment system has no multi-lingural support, it only shows English language. And the Disqus plugin can't choose specified section or category. Not good.

I'm guessing that the DISQUS people have plans to open their service to other languages as well. You can contact them directly if you want on this post:
http://disqus.disqus.com/integrating_disqus_on_joomla/
Regarding display options, we will roll out v1.2 soon (along with the J!1.0.x version) which will feature the ability to filter where you want the comments to appear. ;)
