The biggest new feature is the ability to follow other users. It works as you’d expect — once you’ve followed someone, you’ll see their comments show up in your main activity stream. The Dashboard also includes a ‘Find friends to follow’ widget to help you find interesting content.
Of course, you don’t really have to use the Dashboard if you don’t want to (and my hunch is that many Disqus users only visit it very sporadically, if at all). That may start to change with these new features, though.
Other improvements include the ability to remove or edit comments you’ve left directly from your Dashboard, instead of having to visit the publisher’s sites.
