I know, I have had this debate before, but I am still being torn between the idea of which is better – the traditional book, made of paper that is printed on, especially a hard back volume and the e-book reader version that I can get so handily on my Kindle device (or for that matter my iPad, laptop, or even desktop computer). I keep thinking back on all those wonderful years I have had with books, but similarly keep thinking about the pluses of the electronic edition and some of the greener ideas behind it as well. I was especially thinking of this today while watching the Lord of the Rings Trilogy movies this afternoon, based upon probably my favorite books ever, by J.R.R. Tolkien.
All I can really say about this awesome little PHP tool is just how much I wish I had a known you sooner. I recall the last time I moved WordPress sites around in mass from one server to another. Fortunately at that time I was only really working with two sites that had really large databases and in the end at that time I just did some cutting up myself in smaller sections of SQL stuff in order to get them to run in both a time and memory space that the server would allow. As I am preparing to that again with some of my stuff and even more importantly on a large-scale with some sites at work I needed to find something else. Enter stage left, BigDump.
IntenseDebate vs. Disqus
By Ray on November 22nd, 2011
Realize that a few months ago I gave Disqus a trial run based on something I had read about it pulling in comments from other sources. However, that particular function seemed to work sporadically at best and so after a few days of testing I rolled it back. However, without much brain power having been spent, it is clear the comments increased during that short-lived attempt. So, now I come back asking if I were to consider a return to such a community/comment building system – which is the better option – Disqus or the very popular IntenseDebate?
