Disqus is not ready for Wordpress

11 May 2008 – 12:59 am

I’m sorry, but as much as I want Disqus (and have installed it for testing) it’s just not ready for Wordpress… not until it can import existing WP comments. I’m rather surprised they don’t have that sussed yet. Disappointed, even.

Ray Ozzie, I am disappointed.

29 February 2008 – 6:24 pm

This is Ray Ozzie. He’s Microsoft’s Chief Software Architect. I pictured him kind of younger than that… but Microsoft ages you like nothing else. I mean, just look at Steve Ballmer!
Anyway, see that link on Ray’s page… top right in the sidebar… yeah, that links to his blog. Click it.
You’ve arrived at a page dated [...]
