I wish they went into more detail about some of the 50 new features. Also, an interesting way to get twitter buzz. The site will retweet the preview site if you hit the top link.

  That was a pain in the ass. Popping up a new window that comes up over the video that starts playing made me miss the opening of the video.

What a bad choice in music. They would have been better off with no music at all. It doesn't help that the video doesn't actually show you anything.

Whoa, that was annoying. the retweet thing is daft. the music annoying. the text flying in actually hurts your eyes. you didn't explain any new features. "a revamped comment system"? seriously? Just give a screenshot with a few annotated labels. And next week isn't long enough for me to care. I should add that I really really love Disqus, one of my favourite startups. Just a lame video. sorry. :/

  I'm not sure what song that is that made it in, but the last draft I saw had Danger Zone from Top Gun. Easily my first choice. :) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1a_ikfUico http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1a_ikfUico

    Daniel, really looking forward to the upgrade. Could you list some of the new features and improvements?

  I would gladly retweet your praises, after you show me the new coolness.

so this is just an annoying advert? How on earth did it make it so high up HN? Ugh.

  They are a YC-Funded startup.

Fail, fail. Nothing there explains what Disqus is, or is supposed to be, it very rudely suggets me that I should twitter about it (before I really saw anything and have any idea what Disqus is), and then it doesn't even bother to tell me that I need flash player to see that advert (of something, what? I don't know.)

  Yeah, I love Disqus but that retweet thing was in poor taste.

How about a simple changelog instead? Sure seemed like more of an announcement that they have a marketing department. Still looking forward to the release, haven't used Disqus before and will likely be implementing it in an upcoming project.
