Well, first I saw it on Shey Smith’s blog. Then I saw Dave Winer was using it so I downloaded.

“It” is disqus.

And just now I was listening to net@nite live with Leo Laporte and Amber Macarthur and they had the disqus guy on for a long time talking about how great this app is so I turned on the plugin. It was easy. Naturally, it’s a wordpress plugin and they’re all easy. It ties the comments on your blog in to a community.

So all I need now (hint), is a few comments. It makes me want to post more interesting stuff now just so I can get comments. Feel free to comment on some earlier posts on this blog

editors note -  I turned this two track recording in to a one track job.  So you can’t hear the interviewer but you can hear Willo throughout.  Willo has agreed to a re-interview but in the meantime I think you’ll enjoy this one.  - ptw

Willo O’Brien is an independent contractor, based in San Francisco, offering Custom Illustration and Web/Flash/Graphic Design. Austincast.com talks to her about her fab “tees”, social networking, how to get the most out of twitter, and flips through her photos of sxsw on flickr. Hear her answer to my query that Austin is “Bay Area rejects”; and lots of other surprises.

Today starts a four part series on Robert Scoble’s Salt Lick party at SXSW. The Salt Lick just might be the best bbq in Central Texas, maybe all of Texas. Robert rented a big tourbus and carried everyone on the 30 mike trek to the Salt Lick and then back down town to a round of parties at SXSW. See what digerati you can spot in this video (hint, lifecast, 4 hour work week, interview limo).
