As I understood Disqus creates a new problem – you have to somehow merge it with google analytics and it also brings the problem of privacy – nothing is for free – sometimes we don’t pay for it. With Disqus comments we share with Disqus the knowledge about our users and give them a huge data base. When you add a social plugin it also tracks users and for a nice fancy plugin we allow to track our site and our users. This gives me a head ache. Everywhere tracking, measuring, analytics – a person is no longer a person – it becomes a thing to measure just for the sake of squeezing it like a lemon and pouring all it’s dollars into the pocket of the one responsible for the squeezing. And the worst thing is that people do it to people… There – I have poured a lot of sadness into this happy place.
That being said I thing that I will use the stock WordPress theme posted in your examples instead.
I have managed to get Disqus running – I pasted wrongly the js to Firewall Rueles:
/disqus-comment-system/media/js/disqus.js?ver=4.5.2 is the proper one
and I pasted just:
/disqus-comment-system/media/js/disqus.js
thinking that the 4.5.2 is WordPress specific and it might change.
And the botm botom line si – I can’t save the world. If people agree for tracking just to have a nice level of convenience I can not fight with that 🙁
