Our new engine (comments engine, that is).
For those of you who comments on Frederator’s blogs, you might notice something new. “Powered by Disqus” (that is, Dis-Cuss). From their own page:
“With Disqus, your readers aren’t just leaving comments — they’re participants in a discussion that you’ve started.
“This is made possible with threaded conversations that are easy to follow and join.
“And, of course, it integrates right within your blog.
“Commenters on the go? Receive and reply to the discussion from anywhere with email and mobile posting.”

There are already a couple of issues we’re working to resolve (right now, we don’t show the number of comments under a post), but hopefully we’ll have them fixed soon.
Will it work better for you? For us? Who knows? I certainly hope so. Please, let us know what you think.
PS: As with the conversion of our blogs over to Wordpress, I want to thanks Nate Olsen, Michael Lee, and Jeremy Kutner for helping us get this thing together. And David Karp and Marco Arment at Tumblr for suggesting it in the first place.
