If your not careful it will eat up <strong>A LOT</strong> of yourÂ  time. As simple as that; you can get so engaged at say, friendfeed. You reject writing at your own blog thus not contributing to the information flow &#8211; i REFUSE to call it &#8220;Noise&#8221;.</p>
<p>In essence it&#8217;s not really a &#8220;problem&#8221; but you get my point; I&#8217;m able to say this because i expereinced it first hand.Â  Sometimes i&#8217;m so engaged on Friend Feed (especially), Twitter, and all the other social services that i neglect writing my own stuff; I&#8217;m always reading and comment, liking and so on.Â  It always perplexes me how people like <a href="http://shegeeks.net/">Corvida</a> of She Geeks, <a href="http://www.louisgray.com/live/index.html">Louis Gray</a> and Scoble ( Especially <a href="http://scobleizer.com/">Scoble</a>, your like an Internet God) manage to create so much content, while still being active around the place. I&#8217;d really love to know; it&#8217;s brilliant really.</p>
<p>Just keeping up on friendfeed is a problem to me, but guys like Scoble manage to share tons of stuff on Google Reader, Be Active on friendfeed, on twitter, and still be able to write content for his blog; that&#8217;s new easy feat.Â  Louis Gray now has twins and being a new Dad isn&#8217;t a hi and bye task; but with that he still manages to be active on the web; and i&#8217;m pretty SURE he gives his children all the attention they need.Â  Corvida manages to be real active around the web and still manages to produce some quality content.</p>

<p>I&#8217;d really like to know your secret guys; give me some tips here, i&#8217;m DYING to know.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://disqus.com/"><img class="alignleft alignnone size-medium wp-image-366" style="border: 0; float: left; margin-left: 1px; margin-right: 1px;" title="disqus-logo" src="http://www.gordonswaby.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/disqus-logo.png" alt="" width="169" height="44" /></a> I&#8217;ve been contemplating for<strong> SOME</strong> time now on whether or not to adapt theÂ Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â  infamous <em>(is it?)</em> disqus commenting system on my blog.</p>
<p>I have a few questions that i need answered before i even consider adapting it:</p>
<ul>
<li>What if Disqus should suddenly die? All my comments will vanish right? There doesn&#8217;t seem to be any option available to import them back into my blog.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>How Can people comment on my blog when disqus goes down; i really take my blog comments seriously.</li>
</ul>
<p>There were others but i can&#8217;t seem to pull them from memory right now.Â  I will be sure to add them when i remember.Â  But for now can someone please explain those two to me.</p>
