Posts Tagged ‘comment integration’
After our release last night, we’re proud to introduce a super-cool integration that allows you to see blog comments in your search results. If you’re using JS-Kit, Intense Debate, or Disqus, you’ll now see something different when doing a Lijit search.
For example, if you do a search on Guy Kawasaki’s blog for Twitter, this is what you’ll get…
Underneath the search result, you’ll see how many comments the post received and when you click on the link, you’ll get a preview of the first couple of comments. There is also a “View more comments” link that will show you all the comments on the post.
Why is comment integration important?
–People that write and read blogs are always interested in what others have to say. One of the most valuable pieces of any blog is the comments section because it’s an excellent indicator of reader engagement and shows the conversation taking place around a topic. Lijit understands that and with this integration, give you the ability to judge a search result by checking out the comments before you click on the result.
–The integration of comments into search results is an important step forward in the integration of widgets and the content that BOTH publishers and readers find valuable. Lijit is proud to offer a unique search experience that is not available anywhere else.
–Lijit was founded on the notion of trust. We recognize the critical importance of your social network in establishing and conveying trust. This is yet another example of how Lijit uncovers more valuable information for publishers, readers and commenters alike.
We are proud of this new feature and want to know what you think. Leave us a comment with your feedback and enjoy the enhanced search functionality!

Typepad users rejoice!

You might remember, back in January, that we announced comment integration if you were using a third-party commenting system like Disqus, Intense Debate, or JS-Kit. Then, in early March, we looped Wordpress comments into the mix. But, if you were a blogger using Typepad, you might have felt a little left out.
No more, ye Typepad users! With last night’s release, you too can now experience the magic of having comments show up in your search results.
(Let’s take a moment to fully celebrate this…)
With that out of the way, there is one thing you have to do if you want to see those comments displayed within your search results. But it’s not hard, it’s totally worth it, and we have the utmost faith that you can do this.
You have to enable your comment feeds within your Typepad dashboard, which is easily done by following the four steps outlined above. After logging in to your Typepad account:
Step #1–> Click on the ‘Weblogs’ tab along the top.
Step #2–> Choose the ‘Configure’ tab.
Step #3–> From there, go to ‘Feeds’.
Step #4–> And finally, check the box to enable comment feeds on indivual posts and pages.
When you’re done with that, be sure to save your changes at the bottom of the page, sit back and enjoy the enhanced functionality of Lijit that we keep striving to bring you! If you have questions or need help with doing this, please leave us a comment and we’re happy to help.
