Yes, you have a point, but apparently they're discarding that option.
From the article: "They've definitely had talks about how to monetize and start bringing in money, but if you thought they were about to start with advertising, you'd be wrong. Disqus will not always be a zero-revenue company, but Daniel says advertising's not in the plans."
Can someone please explain to me why is this product worth creating a company (and its subsequent fundings)? I mean... every major blogging platform has the features Disqus offers. Even if this was not the case, creating a company to fill a void that could be filled with a minor software release, why? What's the big deal? What's the advantage in using it? I feel like I'm missing something.
Are you sure about PHP being faster than python?
Unscientific as it could be, this test shows speeds comparable or better for python:

[lines going right are better for python, the ones going left are better for php]
I don't mean to bring this as proof of any sort, but also according to my own experience python scripts outperform php ones.
I got the book yesterday and I've read the first chapters. It covers very interesting stuff in a introductive, easy to follow way. I like its pragmatical approach a lot, but I would have liked more depth in the teorical side of things maybe. I guess that is be material for a different kind of book, but an appendix would have been much appreciated.
The site seems pretty cool to me, it looks like an anoobi for movies. Why did you do it in italian only? I would have tried to launch it in english also. It seems fast to me, but probably there is too little traffic right now to be able to judge its performances. Anyway, very slick execution. Congratulations.
