DISQUS

Franklin,

Thanks for the great post! Cool to hear you like the clean design of the feed pages, we always wanted them to be streamlined so you could, at a glance, see if the content was interesting. Hear that you found your self exploring the site more because of the new Subscribers tab is fantastic.

Also, about speed, we are working very hard to continue to increase the speed of the site while we continue to grow in usage and in functionality. Many of these pages are quite complex to create, but we think we have some smart solutions to keep them loading fast.

Cheers,
Caleb

Excellent write up Franklin. Toluu just became more social, this is a great improvement.

Very nice! I have to wonder if Caleb ever sleeps. This Toluu update provides more access points to the data and that's always welcome. I am, however, very disappointed that you have more subscribers than me, gotta work on that.

As Toluu gets more members and more constant activity I'd love to see the Activity feeds update live similar to the way WeeWar.com does. It'd just be for show, but I don't underestimate the usefulness of little eye candy.

I'd love to give Toluu a try :P I just heard Leo and Amber talking about it on TwIT Live, and ran across your blog posts about it. Do you have any invites left? morgantable@yahoo.com Thanks.

Just sent! What did Leo and Amber say about Toluu? I was on another radio interview hehe

They both loved the concept and discussed the implications. Specifically how Toluu opens the door for individuals to create their own mini newspapers and editorial pages, by following the comments of an author across multiple blogs. This also gives exposure to blogs and discussions they might not have come across otherwise. Leo and Amber both noted how Toluu addressed the need for commenter to have a central place to coordinate their thoughts, opinions and observations across multiple sites of content for themselves as well as sharing.

I think you might be thinking of Disqus, which has to do with comments. hehe

Hi Caleb. You're right. This is what happens when one tries to listen to a podcast while read something completely different. I went back and realized they were discussing Toluu and Disqus simultaneoulsy. I exercised the invite and created an account. My thoughts so far
1. LOVE how easy it was to import all of my RSS feeds using the OPML - thought a quick explanation of what an OPML is might be helpful for people who are not aware of what it is. I only knew about OPML files by chance.
2. As Toluu matures, consider ways to organize feeds and organize them by rank. The first RSS feed that shows up in my list is a blog that I rarely read.

I'm looking forward to exploring the site more and seeing what I run across as far as new blog :)

Glad to hear the import process was simple and easy for you, I agree a bit more info would be helpful or less savvy users. And I also agree that better organization of your own feeds will help with the discovery process a great deal.

Let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions!
