I am a big fan of the Disqus commenting system, I’ve found it to be a great addition to my blog as well as a wonderful personal tool to use on other’s blogs. I’ve had few problems and with commenting syncing now in place on the Wordpress plug-in, I’ve had very few change requests until now. There has been a dramatic increase in human generated spam over the past week or two and if I was a spammer I would jump on this too, because DISQUS does not use nofollow. It’s not even an option that I can find!
Let me give you an example, here’s a post I did on Disqus SEO that has been targeted for spamming (seems fitting, yes?) The comments were on point enough that I replied before i figured out wh

Toluu’s tags, totally tremendous! Today’s timesink: tagging Toluu totality! Ok, enough of that, this really is great news.
Caleb Elston, Toluu’s founder, tells us that tagging was the most requested feature for Toluu. I’m very impressed with the implementation as tagging really permeates the site now, it’s feels like a true integration, not a hacked together add on. When adding tags, the auto-complete will cut down on typos. Along with tagging you’ll see better sorting options on many pages.
A word of warning, if you reimport your OPML you will lose your exsisting tags so you’re gonna want to sync everything before you get started and then use the bookmarklet (or single add) to add new feeds to your Toluu account.
Let’s take a look at some screen shots:
