Discussions unfold in real-time. Comments stream as they are posted and user activity indicates life on your website.

Disqus even shows when others are in the middle of writing and editing their comment but haven’t posted just yet.
The real-time system is designed for active communities, live events, and video content.
We know that comments can sometimes be pretty bad. That’s why Disqus is all about encouraging quality discussions over one-dimensional comments.
A smart voting system surfaces the best content on the page. The community can vote up the best and down vote the bad—all while an even smarter system helps to prevent the silencing of different ideas.
Beyond the discussion, Disqus helps websites understand and build a better community. Navigate over to the community view to see a glimpse of a website’s active audience. People can see your community’s unique set of top participants and other popular discussions happening across your website.

Discussions around your content happens all over the web. Disqus finds these conversations from Twitter and pulls them into the discussion on your website.
With @mentions, easily include others on Disqus and Twitter in your discussion. Mentioned people are notified and encouraged to join your community.
Disqus is the only system that easily integrates with any major type of website platform. We have plugins and tutorials available so adding Disqus to your website will only take minutes.
Many comments are great but some are not, and we know moderating comments isn’t your favorite part of building communities. So we put real effort into making moderation as easy as possible. Our moderation panel in the Disqus admin is built for sites that have lots of commenting activity, and this version makes it easier to read and act on many comments in a single pass. We've also made it easy to moderate directly in the comment system itself.
Do you already have an existing community with lots of comments you don’t want to lose? No problem, with Disqus you can import all your existing comments. If you’re using Disqus SSO, you can also import and sync your existing user profiles.
