Today, however, Disqus just launched new features to make comments even more socially relevant with mini-user profiles, as well as a new way to share your comments with your Twitter followers.
The new mini-profiles work like this: when you hover over the avatar of any commenter, you'll see the user's Disqus status (ie. guest, registered, or verified), a few social network links with the option to see more, and an expand button that opens a pop-up with more profile information.
Disqus is also now supporting OAuth for Twitter, which eliminates the need for you to hand over your Twitter credentials. You can authorize the connection between Twitter and Disqus from the account services page. Once enabled, this feature will let you automatically tweet whenever you leave a comment on any blog that uses Disqus, and link your followers to it with a disq.us short URL.
Even though today's changes are relatively small, they're actually big improvements from our favorite comment platform. Make sure to your share your comments (and use the "Retweet this comment" checkbox to tweet it) so we can see your mini-profiles.
