Disqus Making Disqus faster

Disqus: The Official Blog - Making Disqus faster

While working on this project, I split the static part into lighter chunks and re-wrote our code loader so that it now loads most of our files asynchronously. That means that your browser will be able to load multiple files at the same time and Disqus will no longer block other files used on a page from loading.

This is especially important if you have others widgets on your page. Nothing will be waiting on Disqus to load, even if Disqus is slow to respond, and the web page will load quicker.

- I hadn't seen this

Sounds great if it makes it faster.

I love Disqus.

I haven't noticed any difference on my sites though.

Have anyone else seen any difference in speed?

Whispurr - Twitter’s nemesis arrives as a Whispurr rather than a bang

A new social-networking player has entered the scene to take on micro-
messaging player Twitter with a service that enables macro-messages of
300 characters. The Whispurr social-networking service promises to
bridge the online world with the offline world.

- This is a joke right? I mean who can even think of competing with
Twitter with this?

How many users do they believe they will get? 4 or 400?

Ok, lets move on. This is nothing for me.

Instapaper Pro has been updated with some bug fixes. See image for changelog

Instapaper Pro is one of my favorite iPhone apps. It has been updated
today with some bug fixes. I wish they could add search to the app.
Their competitor Read It Later has that and it's very useful to be
able to search for a specific post to read.
