It’s Time To Disqus Our Community

Perhaps you've noticed that a couple days ago we flipped the switch to enable the shiny new commenting system here on TechCrunch powered by Disqus . So far, the feedback has been very, very positive -- and we're pleased with how well it's performing. But Disqus is just one step of what we need to do. As many of you are well aware, the commenting situation on TechCrunch has been completely out of control for a long, long time. That seems to be one unfortunate side effect of when a site gets large enough (see: YouTube and Digg for other great examples). But we also realize that things don't have to be that way. Some popular sites have very good comments (see: Hacker News and Quora for good examples of that). We'd like our comment section to be useful too. So we're going to try to do something about that.
