Track Your Blog Comments in One Place
Fresh from oven, a new service from Switzerland called CoComment allows you to track your blog comments in one place. It’s going to be popular with bloggers. It makes tracking comments so much easier because you only have to look in one centralized place.
You have to get an invite in order to test it right now. I’m lucky to be invited soon after I have read about CoComment in TechCrunch. I’m not sure if you’ll easily get an invite right now. More and more bloggers want to get an invitation.
CoComment requires a bookmarklet in your browser to fetch the comment you are about to post in a blog. I doubt that you can track your comments no matter where you make them because not all blog softwares are supported yet. Here are the supported blogs at the moment: Blogger.com, MSN Spaces, MySpaces, TypePad, Wordpress and Xanga. More blog softwares will be eventually supported by CoComment. Click here if you you don’t know what bookmarklet is. CoComment supports Firefox 1.x, Safari 2.0 and Internet Explorer 6.0.
Using the bookmarklet, a copy of your comment is addded to “Your Conversations” page on CoComment. You’ll now be able to review the comments made by all CoComment user in other blogs you have commented. Currently only CoComment users’ comments will appearr in “Your Conversations”. Comments made by people not user CoComment will not be recorded by CoComment. In the future, there will be advance blog integration tool that will enable all comments from your blog to be crawled and indexed by CoComment even if the commenters are not using CoComment.
If you find this intesting you shoould read the concept behind CoComment written by Laurent Haug.
This is going to be one of my favorite blog tool!
