Dilbert 2.0


So I've been a big fan of the Dilbert comic strips for a long time now. I started to actually understand some of the subtleties after working in the corporate world, which made them even funnier. But now Dilbert.com is going interactive. In addition to a nice new blog, you can now add Dilbert widgets toy our homepage/mashup site, including igoogle or myspace, exposing others to the wonderful world of Dilbert.

But I've saved the best for last. Dilbert.com has created a new mashup section, which allows you to com plete the punchline for the daily comics. The top user-rated strips get dislpayed in the top 10. Some of the new endings are very funny and creative. So if you like to start your day with a good laugh, check out the Dilbert commic strips.

Disqus: social commenting system

Disqus is a very good social commenting system that you can integrate with your current blogging system. It lets you to better track comments on your blog posts. Generally, you are required to subscribe to the entire thread. But, most of the times, you only want to see if there are any replies just to your post. So, you usually don’t subscribe to the entire thread and would think that you’ll just come back to the article and see if there are any replies to you. With Disqus, you only get replies to you emailed.
Disqus also provides other useful features, like RSS feeds for comments, building clout based on the votes to your reply comments, and widgets that display top commenters, recent comments, and articles with the most comments on them etc.
