CoComment Firefox Extension: Way Cool!

I've written before about how I wish blog comments were easier to follow. Also, in February, I mentioned a promising comment-tracking tool called CoComment -- which I thought was cool, but at the time not sufficient for my needs.

Since then, CoComment has continued forging ahead. Recently they made a key improvement which may represent a "tipping point" in comment tracking -- well, at least for me, anyway. This is the just-release CoComment Firefox extension.

I've just installed it, and am starting to experiment with it. See my Contentious posting for more on that.

...Stay tuned, more on this later.

(Thanks to Easton Ellsworth for the tip on this new tool.)

You're welcome, Amy. I'm either missing something or I'm justifiably zealous about the gem-like quality of cocomment. I've found that I even feel more like commenting when I know that my comment will automatically be stored and follow-ups tracked (provided the follow-upper also uses cocomment - although they are working on eliminating that hurdle).

My last post about the new cocomment Firefox extension got more comments at it than any other post on my blog in all my six-plus months of blogging, and I think a big reason for that was that most of the commenters had cocomment and so they were getting these instant updates on the conversation. A naysayer thinks, "Well, why not just take that offline and do it through email?" I say, why not put it out there for everybody to see?

Of course, eventually I'll want cocomment to allow me to search through my comments when I've made a few thousand of them ... I'd better stop now before I start ranting about all the nifty things I wish it could do already!
