i like to read a lot of blog sites. occasionally, i even post comments on other blog sites. and, i often forget where i post comments. if the author happens to respond i may never know. now, some bloggers will come back to my blog and comment and that allows a dialogue to take place. but, i wonder how many dialogues i’ve allowed to flounder away? well, this is how i go about introducing coComment — a free tool to track your comments on various blogging sites. i have a little bookmarklet that i click just before i submit my comments and then my comments are recorded and tracked on the coComment site as well. i can visit the coComment site and login to see where i’ve posted and to see if follow up discussions ensued. here’s the snippet from the coComment site:

When you comment on a blog, coComment keeps a copy of your message on a special page - called "your conversations" - that allows you to quickly see your comment and where it was posted, with a link to the original site.

moreover, i can also have my comments from elsewhere appear right here on my blog, which you can view right now off to the top-right. i should be able to customize it in the future, but coComment is still in the very early beta-testing phases. in fact, you need a secret code to sign up right now. i was lucky enough to find a bunch of invitation codes posted on another blog, so i don’t have any i can give away at this time. but, as the tool develops more, i imagine the site will open up. and, if you really want to try it, you might just have luck emailing the folks at coComment and asking. cheers!
