--- 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. 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

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.

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.
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:

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. ;)
