Neither Disqus nor YC has a PR firm.
I think the main reason Disqus gets attention from bloggers is that it's designed for bloggers. They know better than anyone what a pain it is to manage comment threads.

their product is inherently viral, too ("what are those cool threaded comments on your blog? powered by disqus?")
Q3: We liked the idea because it was clearly something the world needed. Comments are badly broken on most blogs, including even big ones like Techcrunch. I have no idea how big the market is in dollars. It's not worth thinking too much about anyway. Startups evolve. It's enough to start with something you know people need.
