Is there a way to put Disqus into a custom Python web app, and still get the SEO cred?

Yes, after our API gets better documentation over the next few days.

i made comments using my email without registering and some months later when i created an account for that email address the comments where never claimed to me

thanks

But Arrington still won't use it.

This is how we roll on HN:

1. Something happens 2. Someone links to the 'something' blog 3. Someone else links to TechCrunch which is just now catching up 4. Comments are made in the TechCrunch submission about TechCruch not really even being involved in 'what happened'.

Metafiction isn't just for literature anymore.

What's Valleywag using?

Icky linear format because the tech team works really slow or something. Oooh we can do disemvoweling now!

Still, they have wonderful content creators and a number of their blogs (Deadspin, Gawker, Jezebel, io9) have very large and active communities. It's not the smartest thing to rock the boat unnecessarily.

It gets pretty unwieldly on the bigger sites (Gizmodo, Gakwer, and LifeHacker) when there are hundreds if not thousands of comments. The position now is basically the attraction isn't the discussion of the posts but the posts themselves. Things might change soon though.
