Track Comments Across Multiple Sites

Awhile back I noticed a strange referral in my traffic report and, as a curious cat, I investigating a bit and discovered an intriguing service called coComment.

For awhile now I've been bookmarking a lot of the posts that I comment on. Drive by comments, despite being necessary at times, are something I try to avoid. I love following up on comments and checking how conversations are developing on topics that interest me. The problem with bookmarking posts you've commented on, though, is that sometimes it can get tedious trying to followup on them.

Here's where coComment comes in. After installing the coComment ad-on for Firefox (or setting up the bookmarklet) comment tracking is integrated into your browser.

Once installed you'll see the above bar under the comment textarea in most sites you visit.  Simply comment on the post and coComment grabs the url and keeps an eye on it.

By visiting the coComment page and checking your "conversations" you'll get a look at which were recently updated and get the chance to click directly to the page so you can read up on what's being said.

If you're commenting on a lot of posts (and if not why?) be sure to check out coComment and share your thoughts.  As I said, I've been using it for a little while now and I'm impressed with it.  Hopefully you are too.
