The graph was just for fun. Feel free to show off any fun graphs of your own.

BTW - Disqus displays profiles on the blog as well. It’s new! Try it out!

>1) The majority of our page views, like most distributed applications, come from blogs. A page view makes a request to our server, not at all unlike SezWho. What’s inaccurate about the metrics?

What is inaccurate is that SezWho does profile views within the context of the site. These profile views are not counted as SezWho page views (unlike Disqus profile views/Comment page views)…

Most of our page views don’t come from the blogs we are on but rather organically…if we were to count all our interactions with the sites we are on - like disqus does - the graph would be entirely different…

Hope this clarifies things for you.

I believe I did. I said it didn’t hold true. Try it out for yourself.

We are based on Los Altos…Let’s connect if you are ever in the peninsula and I’ll let you know if I am ever in the city.

Sorry for the delayed response (why wasn’t I notified?

>> When a comment is displayed or when a profile for a user is displayed, SezWho does not count that as a new page view…Instead we try and show SezWho additions/profiles withing the context of the site…This really helps users keep the context of the conversation. We are really not interested in padding our page views from the sites we are on…

You may have had a point when Disqus was first in the wild, but this is no longer the case. We’re pretty good about listening to what bloggers want and made updates based on that.

If you’re in SF, we should chat sometime.

you are missing the point here…

We are instead more focussed on enabling better conversations within the context of the sites we are in….

2) You are misrepresenting how Disqus works. Disqus doesn’t try to redirect visitors from a blog. Feel free to give it a whirl sometime. I think we are doing an excellent job at building communities.

3) Congratulations on doing well and good luck moving forward. I think SezWho is a fine product. I just think Disqus is better, but I’m biased.

I’m happy to openly discuss this.
