@danielha Disqus 3 Breaks Palm Pre Compatibility: Call to Action
I've talked before about the 3rd-party Web comment aggregation service Disqus and how I like the way it implements the concept of a Web identity. However, the newest version, Disqus 3, has broken compatibility with the Palm Pre. I can log in, but the comment "submit" button doesn't work. This is really too bad, as my Pre is often the primary way I access some of my favorite Web sites like Mashable, which features Disqus 3. Now I'm locked out from participating in the discussion, and that frustrates me. Furthermore, more and more websites are upgrading to Disqus 3 every day. Now, I realize that Palm Pre users are a small segment of the Web audience. But I think that we are more likely than the average Web user to actually engage in dialog on Web sites that we visit. Now our voice is being silenced, and I am uncomfortable with that. It marginalizes us at a time when adoption is critical for the success of the WebOS platform. If you are a Palm Pre user like me, I urge you to sign into Posterous with your Twitter account, then comment below. Each comment will be tweeted, providing some measure of feedback to Disqus. Thanks!
