Description:
The Web's Community of Communities -- Disqus is a free service that enables great online communities. As the web's most popular discussion system, Disqus is used by millions of websites that cover pretty much any topic imaginable. Our magic is in connecting people to stuff worth talking about.

Stakeholder(s):

• Websites


• Geeks: Motivation -- Disqus is made for geeks by geeks. Everyone is a geek about something, whether it's music, food, or science fiction. Sometimes you just need the right space to explore it. Whatever you're into, we help you get into it.


• Disqus Team: We think we may have the world's largest employee-to-monthly unique visitor ratio. Hovering somewhere around 22 million.


• Daniel Ha: CEO -- History -- We started in 2007 wanting to build something new for online communities. Our founders, Daniel Ha and Jason Yan, met in 7th grade but didn't start working on Disqus until a few years later at UC Davis (right before dropping out).
