Excellent! This will allow me to see a "real world example" of a threaded reply as well. I did notice that the comments were eventually getting posted to Plaxo, but not nearly as quickly as services like Friend Feed. But your comment about being connected to me in Plaxo makes me realize that it is more of a closed service anyway. If you have a large community of folks in there, I could see the value of the Disqus three way (I know sounds a bit risqué!) A lot of folks see Facebook in this same light.

Here's my comment to help you test. (This one I am doing on your blog, since I'm not connected to you in Pulse.)

Here's my post on the Disqus/Plaxo integration, which I am very excited about!

So, clearly, the Disqus system works very well between my community page at their site, and this blog. The third leg of this stool, plaxo's pulse, however, is some what less than stellar in its performance. Still not seeing any of these posts or comments feeding into my pulse stream over there. I suppose that's okay, however, considering that no one I know actually uses that service. Perhaps that will change soon? We'll have to wait and see.

And now I'm entering a comment to this thread from my Disqus Community page. I would assume this comment will also show up back on my blog. The original post has yet to show up inside of the plaxo pulse stream. Wondering how long that will take, if it shows up at all?

As I found out, Disqus works infinitely better when I actually activate the WordPress Plugin!

I see that Alex King has released an updated version for his Twitter Tools to provide WordPress 2.5 compatibility as well as some newly added functionality. May just have to test that out.

Re: What does your writing “habit” look like?

I hear ya, E. And have to admit there are some very talented blogging writers out there, but I too tend not to read really long posts unless they are relatively infrequent (by any particular writer). All of which is probably sad to admit considering that I very much like to talk/write lengthy articles. Just reinforces that I need to edit, edit, edit!

I'd love to write as many times as possible, also blindgly fast, all combined with rolling out high-expertise articles. Pity we only have 24 hours in a day to do all the study and research we need.

So in the end I arrived at this formula : write once a day or in two days, make it a concentrated pill that can be swallowed easily, and people will be more interested than in a lengthy, information-rich pill. Which many times is an overkill for the people wanting quick answers to their questions.
