CoComment: tracking conversations
I’ve been using CoComment lately to track my blogosphere conversations.
The service is great – I always used to find myself wondering what blog writers would think of my comments, and if they would respond. And of course, I would never remember where I had left my digital breadcrumbs, and so was destined for disappointment.
But now all my conversations are tracked via the Firefox err Flock extension … and I can simple check my conversations in one consolidated, simple view.
There is one problem, however, and one addition I’d like to see.
One problem
The problem occurred when I had CoComment installed both on my own blog (running Wordpress) and in my browser. The result: the comment would get submitted to CoComment, but not to my site … meaning that I could not comment on posts on my own blog. I had to disable the Wordpress plugin so that comments would submit and be saved.
One feature request
A very cool feature would be the ability to allow your conversations to be publicly visible. Currently, if you have an account, your conversations look like this:
It’d be a very nice feature to make that publicly available at some simple URL determined by your username … something like cocomment.com/conversations/johnkoetsier
Then people would be able to see sites that you’re visiting and sites that you care enough about to actually comment on … which I think would be a very interesting indicator to know about someone, and would help people find blogs relevant to their interests.

Welcome to Sparkplug 9, John Koetsier's blog on technology and social media.
Hi John, sorry to hear about the trouble you had when you used the combo of your enabled blog and the browser extension together. Not sure what the cause of that could have been. Haven’t heard about this from any other wordpress bloggers, unless you tried this 10 days ago, right after we went live with the new version. If that’s the case, you could give it another try and you shouldn’t have the problem anymore.
Your requested feature allready exists:
http://www.cocomment.com/comments/johnkoetsier
Cool!
(And yes, I did try it about 10 days ago …)
Have just installed co:comment to my site today and haven’t had the problems you’ve described. Fingers crossed!
I have found the co:comment site itself, though, to be very slow and that’s having an impact on the speed at which I load and post to pages. Let’s hope they get some new PCs quickly, eh.
Glad it’s working for you … probably will for me too if I get the new plugin and install it.
I’m not personally finding CoComment slow … but yes, I also hope they ramp up their servers to ensure as more and more people start using it that posting to CoComment won’t become a bottleneck.
I love coComment. I have an RSS feed from coCo that updates me on what anyone has said in response to any of my comments – it’s genius.
Hi John,
Easton tuned me on to cocomment and I agree, it’s really helped me keep track of conversations. Keep up the great blogging.

Will do, Chad – thanks!
