With Disqus, your website gains a feature-rich comment system complete with social network integration, advanced administration and moderation options, and other extensive community functions. Most importantly, by utilizing Disqus, you are instantly plugging into our web-wide community network, connecting millions of global users to your small blog or large media hub.

Disqus works on just about any type of website or blog and can be installed either with a drop-in code snippet or by using one of the plugins available on our Install page. You can also customize and tweak Disqus for your website with extensive APIs and JavaScript hooks. Check out the Quick Start Guide or visit our homepage for more information and a demo of Disqus.

The Network

The Disqus network consists of millions of communities, over 60 million community profiles, and billions of conversations. There’s a good chance that many of your visitors are already active community members on other sites using Disqus!
The profile system built into Disqus enables community members to manage their comments and community reputations across all the Disqus-enabled sites that they visit. Using these profiles, you and other visitors can find out more about the people participating on websites.
Disqus has extensive integration with popular social networks, such as Facebook and Twitter. With Disqus, people can quickly comment and share using an existing social network profile.

The Tools

Having a popular community is hard to manage. Fortunately, Disqus also offers all of the right tools to make cultivating a large community possible. Within the admin section of Disqus, you'll find granular settings and best-of-class moderation tools.

Therefore make the best of your web to drive traffic you anticipate using Disqus

A WEARABLE COOLING DEVICE THAT COULD MAKE AIR CONDITIONING OBSOLETE

Today I came across another latest technology invention via my Digital Trends and I decided to share it with everyone. Its all about youngsters making things work.

The MIT students develop Wearable Cooling Device that could probably make air conditioning obsolete.

The device, developed by four engineering students at MIT, Wristify is a prototype wearable device that leverages the physical phenomenon known as the Peltier effect to reduce your body temperature.

The Peltier effect, named for French physicist Jean Charles Athanase Peltier who discovered it in 1834, describes the phenomenon of heating or cooling caused by an electric current flowing across the junction of two different conductors. As the current moves from one conductor to another, the transfer of energy causes one side to heat up and the other to cool down.

Wristify is basically a series of these junctions (called a Peltier cooler) powered by a small battery and attached to a wrist strap. When placed against the skin, the device makes you feel cooler by reducing the temperature of your wrist a few fractions of a degree per second for a couple seconds at a time. Over the course of a few minutes, this process will cause you to perceive a whole-body cooling of a couple degrees celsius. The team developing the device is still tinkering with it to figure out the optimal cooling cycle, but at this point in time they say the most effective method is to cool your wrist by 0.4 degrees Celsius (0.7F) per second for five seconds, and then turn off for 10 seconds.

The chief benefit of this device is that it offers a more personalized approach to temperature control, one that’s vastly more efficient than current heating and cooling methods. It takes millions of watts to raise or lower the temperature of an entire building, but Wristify can run on a small lithium battery. If everybody had one of these things on their wrist instead of relying on air conditioning or heaters all the time, the potential energy savings could be massive.

Of course, it’s still just a prototype, but the idea recently won the $10,000 top prize in MIT’s annual Making And Designing Materials Engineering Competition, and the team plans to put all that cheddar toward further development of the device.

Having yet another invention of a miniaturized device that could function as a normal Air-conditioner, still makes reaffirmasion that life itself is getting much more better.
