    Cocomment: please update your browser extension to make it compatible for Firefox 3.
  • Mazuma Leap · 1 year ago
    Seriously, what the hell?!? I use coComment to manage a variety of different conversations, biz and personal, and these guys still haven't updated their Firefox 3 extension. They just posted a blog suggesting that people not convert to Firefox 3 until they fix it - problem is most people convert to F3 then figure out they have no coComment ext, only to read that the founders advice is to not convert...great plan guys...no really, excellent thinking.

    I agree with Mazuma Leap it is ridiculous that cocomment is bragging about their rating system, but still haven't made cocomment compatible with Firefox 3. Seems to me that someone needs to get their priorities straight.

    It's good news to see coComment develop its product. And more to know they're building a business network, it makes me more confident in their sustainability.

    not compatible for Firefox 3. Nail in the coffin, that's not good enough!

    Just tried to set it up in Opera and it was seriously painful.

    Browser extensions only limit potential users. They will hit a ceiling in no time.

    Not to mention how unintelligible their site it. I look at it and I am paralyzed with navigation fright.

    Frankly, I would take Intense Debate or Disqus anyday over CoComment.
  • CannonGod · 1 year ago
    Personally I use Disqus and maybe a little Intense Debate.

    Can I also ask, why are rating systems still being made based on the 5-star principle? Seriously, either a comment is useful/okay/bad. iTunes does the same with your music collection. I either like it a lot, or dislike it greatly. Maybe it's just me, but these shades of grey are simply redundant. So to summarise:

    Reputation Systems = Good

    5-star Rating Systems = Bad

    yea, I'm also not a fan of 5-star systems, especially for rating content. Because, by rating it 5 stars, are you saying it was an exceptional article/comment, or are you simply saying that the subject matter was interesting? It's unclear.

    Rating system is really useful because the users can easily find the popular articles and it encourages the author..
