Plugin beta test: Social Comments

Tagged


So yeah, I have a new plugin I want to get some testing on, called Social Comments.


The plugin is in its most basic form at the moment, but it allows you to login to the site with your twitter account, and any comments you make will be posted to your twitter account as tweets. Eventually I will also support Facebook, but for now I am focusing on a service I actually use.


Currently in development is a system that allows you to choose whether to tweet your comments or not, but right now I am interested in making sure the tweeting system is rawk solid, so no choice for you!


Oh and some of you might be wondering why I am building this, when services like Disqus exist. Disqus is a find product, but call me crazy, I already have a commenting system, why would I supplant it completely with a service that hosts that content offsite?


It doesn't feel right that I don't have ownership over that content. I am willing to accept this could be an issue I have that most other people don't. Cool, then there will be one very happy webbie in the world :)


Please leave feedback here or on twitter, @chrisjdavis me if you have a question or suggestion!
