When commenting on a blog post, often the conversation is slow or stops half-way through, because commenters forget where they have left comments or they don’t know that someone has responded to their comment.
coComment keeps track of online conversations you’ve been involved in, or are even just interested in. And, it does it in a nice unobtrusive way.
The coComment bar (see image below)
appears on sites that have included the coComment code with their comment form (like this site).
If you’re using coComment, then it’s worth installing the Firefox extension that enables coComment on some sites (for which it recognises the blogging platform) even if the author of the site hasn’t included the code. The extension also shows a little icon if there are new comments to the conversations you are tracking.
coComment is a handy service. I used to mark blog posts that I had an interest in the subsequent conversation as “unread” in Bloglines, now I can just track them with coComment.
