I had Disqus comments on my blog for a while. However, I noticed that the good discussions took place on Hacker News and Reddit.

  Yes, which suggests that what the Web needs is proper support for aggregating / merging comments on a story when those comments are spread across multiple domains. Ideally, you should be able to go to http://www.example.org/blog/a_post_about_something.html http://www.example.org/blog/a_post_about_something.html and see in the "comments" section the comments from HN, reddit, G+, and elsewhere. From what I remember when I started looking into something like this a few years ago, from a technical perspective, SIOC[1] and FOAF[2] give us some of the building blocks to do something like that. But it'll probably never catch on just due to the economics... At least if you blog on Blogger, they have integrated G+ discussions now, which turns out to be kinda nifty.

    Microformats are a more pragmatic approach. http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-in-reply-to http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-in-reply-to
