I have been using coComment for a few days as a way to track my comments and to try to provoke me into writing more of them1. So far it looks positive – getting an invite to beta-test was not at all tricky, it works with the majority of blogs I have come across so far, and I may actually be commenting more too…

The biggest annoyance was forgetting to click the little javascript widget before posting, and thus the comment was not submitted to my tracker2 (pop-up comments also pose a problem as they appear sans-toolbar). Fortunately there is a handy greasemonkey script that remembers to do this for you, and works with pop-ups as well.

So should anyone actually read this and wonder what else I have been saying, there is now an imaginatively titled ‘coComments’ page.

[Update: coComment is now registration-free]
