Commenting Through Disqus

If you aren’t a blogger you probably haven’t noticed this company named Disqus unless you really are paying attention when you leave a comment. But head over to Dave Winer’s blog, click on the comments, and if you leave a comment there, like I just did, you aren’t actually leaving it on Dave Winer’s blog. You’re using Disqus’s commenting service. “So what?” you’re probably asking. Well, there’s a few things that Disqus does.

What I like about the Seesmic's acquisition of Twhirl isn't that I'm using it as my default client for Twitter.   Or that I happen to use Seesmic and look forward to some chocolate and peanut butter goodness.

Seesmic Befriends (And Buys) Twitter Client Twhirl

Twhirl's service will remain free to users, so onlookers need not look to their wallets.  Loic Le Meur presumably did a little digging, however, as the Twitter client has been acquired by his video chat company, Seesmic.

User Generated Skepticism

One of the things that social media is great at is soliciting and distributing user-generated video.
