    Clever idea. In fact, I was just thinking something like that would be handy to have. Internet is marvelous, isn't it? Sooner or later someone will be clever enough to think of a great idea, smart enough to turn it into reality, and wonderful enough to post it. Lovely how that works, isn't it?

    Cheers.

    These are great. Here's another option I've been using myself for months.

    I simply add the RSS myself to any reader (Google Reader in my case). Then when I 'tag' them into a folder (e.g. temp-comment). Then once in a while, i would delete feeds that have no activity...

    my poor man's way =)

    I forgot all about Co.mments. When it was first released, you could comment to one of their posts and it would track that post forever. There was no way to delete your link to the test post.

    I gave up on it because I was tired of being pinged many times a day with "Test!" "This is a test post". LOL

    Do they allow you to delete comments you don't want to follow anymore?

    I find the first suggestion, co.mments, to be the most useful when it comes to tracking comments on all sorts of sites.

    The only thing you need to do when you are in a post like this is to click the bookmarklet and it is added to your comments RSS feed.

    For that reason, I placed the little co.mment icon on posts in my blog and it's the first thing I suggest to anyone if they like their life easy.

    Love coComment. It's tracked over 2,000 of my comments and attendant conversations.

    #6 - Use a unique enough username so that you can use google to find them. Simple.

    I've been wanting an app like this for a while. But then I downloaded the Google toolbar and I just tag each page with "Comment" and now its easy to track them.

    Great article!

    We were having server problems at the moment you were testing(which never happens, just our luck :) ). Everything should be cleared up now :)

    i just started using co.mments and i have to say that it's excellent - already i'm saving time. thanks for the head-up

    I've used CoComment for a while, but it seems flaky. Sometimes it tracks well, other times it doesn't. It seems to depend on the blog tool being used. And sometimes it seems like it stops my comments like right when I tried to submit my comment on this blog.

    What we all really need is a way for us to see the "thread" or "meme" that is created around a particular topic and have that thread/meme tracked in an on-going basis that would include posts and comments. Where are these tools?

    I've talked about this before in:


    Blogs, Community and Discussion Tracking - What's Really Needed


    But I'm still waiting for better tools to emerge.

    This really sounds like the most useless idea ever.
  • Brad Isaac · 2 years ago
    Hey, co.mments has added a remove feature to their line up. I'm back on board!
  • AJ · 2 years ago
    I have tried CoComment in the past and again recently. Both the times, the extension usage has been painful. Every time I loaded a page or clicked on a link (so essentially loading a page) the browser would freeze for a few seconds.

    That experience is horrible. I kept thinking it was some sync ajax request but on a hunch, disabled the extension and surfed and the browser was back to its normal behaviour.
  • photographxgrl · 1 year ago
    Is there a way to track your comments when you're using a RSS reader vs. a normal web browser? I use Vienna but am not seeing a way to track comments unless I open each post I want to comment on in Safari/Firefox.

    Hey Stan, PLEASE Update this post! You come up first in the google search and its totally out of date - (yes I know it was written 2 years ago but its still alive and well) Co-comment is dead, and backtype is the new hot (for this week anyway!) So a little update would be helpful. (I'm looking at tools for my clients.) Best wishes, Rebecca

    What's happened to commentfull? From some months it not automatically notify new comment, neither via RSS :(
    I tried to write some email to support but no replies :(
    Do you know something about?
  • ap · 7 months ago
    I'm two years behind schedule. I learned that co.mments is dead when I didn;t even know that they existed. I would like to keep track of my comments. I doubt if people would follow my comments, but backtype looks interesting.
