SezWho is Now JS-Kit (What now?)

Thaya Kareeson — Fri, 27 Mar 2009 22:29:47 +0000

Earlier this month, SezWho announced that they have been acquired by JS-Kit. I have previously written a post praising SezWho for the great work that they’ve been doing. I must admit that since then SezWho has been dropping the ball on development, allowing other competitors like Disqus and Intense Debate to shine. Nevertheless, I am quite sad to see them get devoured and rebranded into JS-Kit because they had such great potential.

What to do now?

Before JS-Kit supplied a clear upgrade path from SezWho, I’ve experimented with Disqus and Intense Debate. They both have comparable features, but here are a few different things that make me prefer each service over the other:

Disqus

Disqus comment system is definitely the faster of the two systems. I’m not sure if the reason is code optimization or just pure bandwidth, but it definitely felt faster than Intense Debate. Another thing I like about Disqus is that I never saw any orphaned comments (i.e. a comment that shows up in my WordPress admin, but doesn’t show up in the Disqus framework).

Intense Debate

Though performance is not as good as Disqus and I occasionally find orphaned comments, I still like Intense Debate for the extra bells and whistles it has.

Community friendly profile pages
Many comment thread display options
Server side Akismet and proprietary Intense Debate spam filter
Profanity filter
More widgets
Support for Intense Debate plugins

What did I choose?

As you can tell, I have chosen Intense Debate as my choice, but I am not completely happy with it yet. I feel that Intense Debate has more potential to grow especially since they are now part of Automattic. I will be satisfied as soon as they work out the performance and synchronization kinks and ship it with the standard WordPress installation.

What should you choose?

That really depends on what you need. If you don’t mind dealing with the occasional orphaned comment and decent performance then go with Intense Debate. If you absolutely have to have those things then go for Disqus.

Twitter Hacks to Improve Your Tweeting Experience

Thaya Kareeson — Thu, 19 Mar 2009 13:00:06 +0000

I think Twitter goes hand in hand with professional blogging. There are many creative ways to harness the power of Twitter. Personally, I use Twitter to keep in touch with all of my readers (P.S. if I’m not following you yet, please tweet @madeinthayaland and tell me that you are one of my readers!). That said, I spend a lot of time on Twitter.com and there are many things that I wish it had.

Recently my good friend Artem Russakovskii wrote an awesomely massive post introducing me to some very slick Twitter hacks.

Here are some of my favorite hacks out of his extensive list:

Friend autocomplete
Search bar with favorite searches
Auto expander of short URLs
Auto pagination
Auto media embed expander
Retweet button
Nested replies

I think just the only tool missing from this hacks-kit is the ability to auto-shorten your tweet if it exceeds 140 characters (something that works like 140it bookmarklet). Nevertheless, there is no harm in having both hacks installed.

Great post Artem! Keep up the good work!
