Disqus Mobile Apps for Moderators

Disqus (pronounced: “Discuss”) launched their mobile apps for comment moderators, allowing for comments to be read/deleted/approved or “spammed” on the fly by site owners.

From their blog:

Features:

• Approving, marking spam, and deleting content
• Filtering by status
• Background notifications
• Search
• Reply
• View Context

The Android version is already out in the marketplace (scan the QRcode below/at right for easy access).

And, in a nice turn of events, the Apple iPhone version is not currently available (what? Android being developed first?) though it will be out soon.

WebOS users, don’t fret. A handy app for your Palm Pre, Pixi is coming soon as well.

What’s next? Well, moderating is really nice from the app interface (I had some difficulty logging in through the web interface to my own blog to comment from my Droid Eris today*), but as others called out, it would be nice to see all comments to-be-moderated not just per-site.

Also, just a tip to the Disqus team, if you push out a version of this for commenters (not just moderators… as people have requested in the Android Market) and let people reply to (and engage in) conversations on blogs they already use via Disqus, you could single-handedly become the interface to which people interact with their favorite blogs online!

*Logging in was buggy on my Android browser. I wish you could route me through twitter oAuth, my Google account or OpenID or something easy like that rather than making me remember (another) password.
