disqus 2012 Disqus 2012 Moves Out of Beta; Now Available for All Communities

A little over a month ago, Disqus began running an invite-only beta for the newly-revamped 2012 version of its blog commenting system. Today, the service has been opened up to the entire Internet and can now be used by anyone with a Disqus account and a website to install the system on. Check out a quick video detailing the new features, followed by the full presser below, then head over to the website and get signed up if you haven’t already done so.

The new Disqus 2012 is now available for all sites. We began public testing over a month ago and with the help of thousands of brave beta-testers, we’ve been improving every step of the way. Thank you for being a part of our product design and development. We built this new Disqus with your feedback, criticisms, and guidance — and we appreciate every bit of it.

With the platform, we believe that we’re adding a new dimension to how people use Disqus. Beyond discussion, Disqus is about helping sites engage audiences in exciting ways. Check out a tour of all of the new features.

Here are some of the core themes of the new Disqus:

Real-time. The new Disqus is fully real-time, from top to bottom, and based on completely new architecture. Conversations stream in live, with sub-second updating — and this happens all within the right context.Quality Discussions. The new voting features are rooted in an overhaul of how we’re thinking about quality discussions within Disqus. New reputation-based algorithms mean that there’s less work for site admins because communities are enabled with more power to self-moderate.Discovery. Discovery isn’t one single feature. It’s a theme that’s tightly woven into the core experience of Disqus. We’re helping people explore new discussions and stories through Disqus — and, as a benefit, sites are able to receive more high quality traffic.

To get started, point your browser towards the link below. As always, we hope you enjoy and urge you to join our community by leaving comments on our articles using the same Disqus system detailed in this post.

$1.3bn UK LTE auction opens December 11

Image
LTE services across UK carriers are likely to launch in May or June 2013, regulator Ofcom  has confirmed, setting dates for the 4G spectrum auction as well as reserve prices totaling £1.3bn. The application process will begin on December 11, with bidding itself starting in January and, Ofcom warns, potentially lasting for “a number of weeks” until winners – and costs – are confirmed by the end of March. Ofcom has apparently developed a special auction tool for participants to use, with all bids submitted electronically. Depending on how long the bidding process takes, the final prices and list of winners will be settled in either February or March, with licenses granted as soon as buyers stump up the fees. According to Ofcom’s rules , exactly which of the bands each interested party will be able to bid on will depend on how many “points” they hold, calculated based on the size of the deposit they make initially. Meanwhile, there are limits to how much of the spectrum any one organiza...

Let’s Be Friends: 17-Year-Old Girl Who Pinched Butts At The College World Series

Candice Sortino in trouble for pinching butts! Dear Candice Sortino, I know you are facing criminal charges for the recent stunt you pulled at the College Baseball World Series in Omaha, Nebraska. When asked why you made a mad dash out on to the field to pinch two baseball players’ butts you responded “Because there were so many people watching and it’s against the rules and you get tackled too.”  You rebellious little minx. I know you think that you got “caught up in the moment” and made a mistake, but I, for one disagree. You did the thing that any impassioned woman would have done if she had the courage. Baseball players have nice butts! And goosing people is fun! I’ve never had the gall to play “squeeze butts” anywhere but a crowded bar. And I’ve never done it if I thought I would get caught. But look at you! So young and so empowered! Not giving a f**k! Objectifying hot men!  I admire a young woman — you’re still in high school?! — with moxie. I want to be your friend. Or maybe ...

How to create a facebook page easy

Facebook Pages get a lot of search engine respect. Even "big business" takes them as seriously as they do with their own corporate websites. Learn what the big deal is about, and how you can make your own from scratch! There has never been a better time to get your online business going with a Facebook page. Make it your 2012 New Years Resolution to tap into that *MASSIVE* Facebook population to get noticed, get selling...or just get attention!   What is a Facebook Page? A Facebook Page , sometimes referred to as a "Fan Page," is a single page that you can create off of the Facebook.com domain for anything you want...a particular subject you like: a celebrity, a business profile, whatever your heart desires (as long as you have the legal rights to do so). Think of it as a one-page meeting place, with information, links, a message forum box, RSS and anything else you want. Best yet, anyone can create them. All you need is a Facebook account! T...
