CoComment is so cool!
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. You can even subscribe by email! Thanks for visiting!
Of course, there has been similar sorts of web services before.
I remember one in the mid 90s, when the www was first starting off, that allowed you to track when a page had been updated — you entered the url into their database and were sent an email when their spider found the page had a new ’save’ date. (For ten bonus points: does anyone remember the name of that service?)
But CoComment is a really cool service. Free (as the other one was) but also allowing you to stick your conversations into your rss feed reader, so that you never need visit their site but keep up to date with the conversations via the same tool you read others’ blogs.
I haven’t got it to work from within GreatNews yet, but no doubt with the popularity of CoComment (I expect this to go ‘large’ very quickly) all the aggregator developers will be figuring out a way to incorporate the bookmarklet into their window.
CoComment will be deservedly huge, someone will come along and buy them and the founders will get their just rewards and the investors a hefty ROI.
Fantastic!

Please note:
1. If this is your first time commenting using the email address you have given, your comment will be held in 'moderation' and won't appear until one of us here at BetterComms Towers approves it. This stops spammers from flooding our posts with garbage. It may take up to 48 hours for your comment to appear -- sorry!
2. This blog runs the WP-Cache plugin, which reduces the amount of processing our host's server has to perform on this blog. The result for you is that our site crashes less. The downside is that sometimes it might take a minute or two for your comment to appear. Please don't resubmit your comment if it doesn't appear straight away. Please be patient and try refreshing your browser after a minute or two... Thanks, Lee

Lee, I agree - coComments is very useful. I’m using it for this very comment, in fact. Perhaps more important than coComment itself is the buzz it’s generated lately; more people now understand how important it is to keep track of your conversations and are looking for ways to improve that tracking.

Lee,
This sounds neat. I took a look at their website and I too would like to test this out. How does one obtain an invitation code?

Hi Mark,
Just visit the site and look for the ‘get notified’ sign-up box on the right hand side of the home page. It will take about 24-36 hours for an email to come through with a one-time code. Enter the code, complete your sign-up process and Bob is your proverbial sister’s brother…

[...] I was one of the early joiners of CoComment. I even posted about when it was first un-launched — Robert Scoble blogged about it and all of a sudden the folks at CoComment suffered a landslide of server traffic as everyone and his dog tried to join, an effect known in tech circles as the ’slashdot’ effect, named after the slashdot website which, if it posts something about someone, very often causes that someone’s server to crash because thousands of visitors follow the link from slashdot within minutes of it being posted.
