Cool idea. Cooler if it worked.

coComment — not a stutter, a new toy — promises to be very nifty: a little bookmarklet that lets you track the comments you leave on other people's blogs. So instead of having to go back to every blog you visit to see if anyone's replied, you can see all conversations on one webpage — or on RSS, or even on a little box on your own blog. Clearly very groovy.

Unfortunately — and I do realise it's early days yet — I've just tried it on three blogs and it didn't work on any of them. Not on Movable Type, not on Squarespace and not even on Blogger, which it does claim to support. But it wasn't able to identify the comment form on this particular blog. I don't think this is going to be much use to me if it only saves the comments for blogs on the right platforms, that are set up in just the right way.

Still, eh, it's a start.
