Is this the beginning of a new trend? Today saw the release of one of the first high profile exclusive application for Windows Phone 7 and Windows Phone 8. Disqus, the comments services / community used by the vast majority of the top blogs and websites on the web (yes even here on MobileTechWorld) now has a mobile application exclusively available only on Windows Phone.

The app still has a few tiny bugs that seem to be mostly cloud related but other than that the whole package is pretty much perfect from a UI and feature point of you. Here’s what’s included:

– Stay current with your favorite discussions by receiving timely notifications any time a user replies to you
– Follow friends, frenemies, dinosaurs, and site authors to get updates on their activity throughout the web
– Explore the thousands of active communities and millions of active discussions within the app in the Explore section
– Interact with discussions every way you’re familiar with on Disqus: write comments and replies, star your favorite discussions, vote on comments and mention users all within a fluid, native interface
– Live tiles deliver notifications and new activity right to your home screen. Pin extra tiles for search queries and discussions you want to stay on top of
– Moderate discussions for any Disqus-enabled site you administer
