Updates: New Commenting System, New Events Pages

Hi everyone – Ernie, the founder of 8Asians here, and I wanted to let you know of two things: we recently changed our comments system to LiveFyre — going forward, all commenters will have to log in through Twitter, Facebook or the LiveFyre account, and we no longer allow Yahoo! commenters. This was done to combat the growing number of abusive comments we’ve been receiving on the site, but it also gives the ability for active commenters on 8Asians to vote other peoples comments up or down.

We also released 8Asians Events last week, an Event Calendar for members of the API Community to publicize their events. You can see a short listing in the module to the right, and you can also go to the individual event pages and save the events to your iCal or Google Calendars. You can find out how to add events to the 8Asians calendar.

Let us know if you have comments or questions!

About Ernie

I'm the creator of 8 Asians and one of the editors. While I'm a regular blogger to the site as well, think of my role as Barbara Walters on "The View," except without the weird white hair. During the day, I'm a Developer for a major Internet company and live in the San Francisco Bay Area. I've also been writing in my blog, littleyellowdifferent.com, for seven years.
