CoComment: Track Your Conversations

Wow, its been a year since TechCrunch showcased CoComment. I've barely used the service since its inception, but now I'm finding more utility in its existence. When you're farting around on the web, you tend to leave a trail in the Web 2.0 space. Personal blogs, websites like TechCrunch.com, Flickr, and other such services allow quick comments. And when you make a couple of comments a day... You can quickly forget what you've talked about. And when people respond to you. Enter CoComment as a solution. To start using the service you install a Firefox extension and setup an account. Now any time you run to practically any blog, you make a comment as normal and make sure it has a CoComment button near the post button. When you log in, you see recent conversations. The CoComment system monitors these pages and will index additional comments as they are posted and responses specifically to you. Now you can know when someone responds to you, without having to check the pages yourself. The Firefox extension also automagically notifies you when new comments are available. As you can see below, it also jumped on the tag cloud of the Web 2.0 shit. I'm not sure why; I don't envision a vibrant community around commenting on other people's comments. I have Technorati and general Google searching to find things of interest to me.
