Comments and Conversation With coComment
Like most readers subscribing to hundreds of feeds, I’ve wished for a better way to track and follow conversations, including comments (such as this conversation on comments). Is coComment it? Not yet, but it’s the first tool for this purpose that looks promising to me, and, as is always the case, success depends partly on widespread adoption and use, so please do join us.
When I read Robert Scoble’s post titled Calacanis Asks Deep Questions About Social Networks I was following a conversation. It may not have had the depth of the most memorable ones, but it was a conversation nonetheless, and the bonus to reading this piece of it was the link to coComment.
Last night I set up a coComments page with the username Vera. You can read my future comments, or see the conversations I follow there, and can also subscribe to them directly on coComments, on Technorati, or subscribe here: coComments related to Vera.
I won’t add every comment I make or follow to my coComments collection, only those which are part of an ongoing or potential conversation. The site says it is still in early beta, so I’m definitely hoping that it adds features I haven’t found yet, such as the ability to link or group related conversations within one’s own account. It would also be good to see some ideas for an additional linking process between these content pages on Technorati.
Won’t it be great if the connection of blogging conversations, including the comments on them, can be improved?
