Dissing Disqus

Filed under: Blogs — Patrick Durusau @ 2:55 pm

I wanted to advise a blogger of a URL error I found. Was going to simply leave a comment with the correct information.

Imagine my surprise when I tried to authenticate using Twitter to be told that Disqus could:

  • Read Tweets from your timeline.
  • See who you follow, and follow new people.
  • Update your profile.
  • Post Tweets for you.

The “Read Tweets from your timeline.” doesn’t bother me. Mostly because I don’t write anything down I would mind being public. 😉

But, following new people, updating my profile and posting tweets, all for me, what about that doesn’t suck?

If you use Disqus, don’t expect any comments from me.

Abandoning Disqus could make such over-reaching less common.
