Scripting News: Seesmic and Disqus sittin in a tree (Scripting News)

  • stevepurkiss · 1 year ago
    I've enabled it on http://seesmicsidebar.com

    As I just mentioned on Scoble's blog, this is *so* much better than the seesmic WordPress plugin which I still have issues with getting working.

    Just remember to choose the option 'on posts with no comments and all future posts' unless you want to hide all your existing comments...!

    Great duo.
    Does the seesmic WP-Plugin now has disqus built in ?
  • Thomas Knoll · 1 year ago
    No... the WP-plugin is not the same as disqus. You can install one or the other.

    A solution looking for a problem? I'm not convinced.
  • webomatica · 1 year ago
    Interesting. I can see a lot more folks signing up for Disqus because of this. It would be nice if the Disqus login and Seesmic accounts were linked somehow so I didn't feel a need to sign up for a Seesmic account (yet ANOTHER login and pass) but that's probably too much to ask for.

    you just know someone is going to blab about OpenID etc etc as being the fix for this :)
  • Colin Faulkingham · 1 year ago
    Right now It's not really clear how you post a video comment. The Seesmic window shows up and let's you record a video but doesn't actually give you the option to post the video.

    I am using Mac with FireFox 2.0 and I also tried with Safari. I see others have successfully posted video's below. So, maybe it's something I am doing wrong. Oh well! it's still an interesting development, it might also be the case that each company has found their killer app.

    Here is a screen grab of the problem.

    hi colin, from the looks of the screenshot, it doesn't look like you've recorded the comment yet. You should click the red dot at the bottom of the window to "Start Recording". Then, when you click the red dot again to stop recording. Then, you'll get the dialog to either "Publish comment" or "Record Again".
  • Colin Faulkingham · 1 year ago
    Thomas thanks for the info, but the "Publish comment" or "Record Again" never shows up. All it says after I click the "Start Recorder" is "Starting recorder..." if I click it again it says "Start Recorder".

    The reason I was talking quietly was it was 4 a.m. and I +was+ afraid of waking everyone up.

    Can't seem to view videos in Safari 3/Mac
  • Thomas Knoll · 1 year ago
    Hi Davin, can you let me know what you're seeing when it doesn't work. I've been able to post via Safari.
  • Alex Hammer · 1 year ago
    Is anyone else confused by the Seesmic dashboard? I may not be that bright, but in the few minutes that I devoted to it after signing up (thanks Loic for the invite) I saw options for creating video messages but I couldn't figure out how to install Seesmic in my blogs.
  • fineartdavid · 1 year ago
    Where do the comments and video comments live? I mean, if you decide you don't want to use Disqus anymore, can you take the comments away with you?
  • quecojones · 1 year ago
    Not working in Safari (for me)...
  • StevenHodson · 1 year ago
    I was asked as well by Daniel at Disqus and was orginally told the 11AM time as well but then late last night I got another email from Daniel saying that the time had been moved up to 8AM.

    The other disadvantage as I said on my blog is going to be the time we will need to take to "moderate" the video post. Where software can prescreen for bad stuff and we can follow up with a quick glance if need now we will need to sit through each and every video. Not sure how that is going to fly.

    VIdeo comment failed.
    I registered, recorded a comment, then hit publish.
    Was then taking into repeated loop asking for with a little dialog box that ask "Please enter your name from above and press OK" however no name show. After hitting ok got the same dialog box.
  • ctd3 · 1 year ago
    Gee Dave was that at one point all the videos were playing at once the reason you removed my comment?
    It happened.

    Now remove this one.
  • dave · 1 year ago
    No one removed your comment.
  • jgerry · 1 year ago
    I think people talk softly when doing video because it still seems a little odd talking to your computer, especially if you're in a public place or at the office with other people.
  • ctd3 · 1 year ago
    Well it did not show on this monitor so I assumed,,,
    the issue that I think warrants consideration is that I clicked within your window and all the videos went on at the same time it was freakish and odd so I wanted to mention it, this was of course after watching them all separately, it was an inadvertent click . I think the video comments are an asset for a number of reasons some covered in Loic's recent post , soon I;ll get up to speed .

    Thanks for your reply Dave .

    I'm not sure if I like this as a reader so much, but it should at least make spam a lot more entertaining.
  • Jake McKee · 1 year ago
    While I'm excited about this new innovation (I love Disqus), I've been pounding on their team to look at other, more important issues first and foremost. Issues such as getting comments OUT of disqus and EASILY back into WP or other systems. Do a better job clarifying the ownership of content issues. Make trackbacks work for crying outloud (trackback = basic cost of entry at this point in time)!

    Early adopters (like Dave) are going to be crucial to making a system like Disqus work (and win out over other competing concepts), yet until some of these BASIC issues get worked out, the rest of these new feature additions are the wrong place to be spending time.

    IMHO as a current and (mostly) happy Disqus user.
