Thanks for the link love and I am glad to hear that you and Mr. Vinson got to meet in person. Hopefully I will manage to meet both of you some day.

FYI, MR. Vinson put up a nice post on the conversation about audience from blogger.

One additional thought on co.mments. I noticed it allows tags. How can we use them? Wouldn't it be great if we could track and entire group of conversations by tag? or is there something I missed?

Better yet, what if I could import an RSS list and track all of those conversations? This would be a great way to integrate delicous into it.
