The Entire Conversation Is Aggregated Over At BackType

I use the Disqus Commenting System on this blog. Whenever I comment on another blog that uses the same system, Disqus keeps track of the entire conversation. The other commenting aggregation system I use is BackType, which pulls in comments from Disqus and other blogs that don’t use Disqus. This means the comments for everybody who commented on a particular post will be shown.

If you want to follow the conversation in this manner, visit my TaylorWebStuff Disqus Comment Profile.

[[UPDATE: BackType has changed its model. I'm no longer using it to aggregate comments. Visit the Disqus Profile link above.]]
