coComment Upgrades: Great for Business and Community

By on July 20, 2006 in Conversations, Cool Tools with 9 Comments

Easton Ellsworth alerts us of a new version for coComment with some great new features:

  • Track ALL comments, even if the commenter is not using coComments (Great for staying involved in the conversation)
  • Track a comment thread, even if you don’t engage (Great feature for businesses doing Market Research)
  • User interface upgrades.

I’ve been noticing more people using coComment recently, such as Fred Wilson and David Armano. Folks like Jack Yan, Phil Gerbyshak and Easton have been using coComment for some time.

With the added features, maybe Ann Handley and John Wagner (both of whom comment all over the place). Lots of potential on how community architect Mack Collier could use coComment!

Aside: Not only did Easton write this up on his blog, he emailed me separately because he knew my readers would value the tip. That’s huge! Thanks EE.

Find Your Social Media ROI

I hear it from a lot of business owners: “Where is the ROI with all this Social Media?“ If this is a question you ask yourself, maybe we should work together a bit more. We can work together solo, or via a professional learning community. Find and increase your ROI. There is a “there” there.

    The toughest thing about coComment is remembering to use the bookmarklet as you’re commenting. Now, there’s the ability to go back and retroactively add comments to coComment. Have you posted on that?

    Mike can you use CoComment with Blogger?

    Mark, I haven’t attempted to go back and republish comments with coComment. I’ll try that on a few here at ConverStations. I wonder if it will duplicate on the site. More to come (thanks for the suggestion).

    Mack, Great question. If the Blogger site uses HaloScan, the answer is “nope.” However,not all Blogger sites use HaloScan. coComment will work on your site.
    Maybe someone from coComment can tells us more about HaloScan solutions.

    Mike, thanks for posting about this! It’ll be a great story to follow – the meta-story being the development of technologies that help people converse with each other.
    Mark, coComment’s new “cococrawler” (not sure which c’s need to be cpaitalized there!) scans your coComment history for any updates to any page you’ve commented at. I think it’s awesome. … But I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “retroactively add comments to coComment.” Do you mean the ability to go to comments you once made before becoming a coCo user, and tag those comments as coComments under your new account?

    Mike –
    I actually downloaded coComment this past spring — and then I read somewhere that it interfered with the Mac Safari browser…of course, I can’t find the reference to that now…so I abandonned ship. Screwy technology freaks me out. : )
    Does anyone know what I’m referring to…or know whether the issue has been resolved?

    Mike, thank you for linking me. And Ann, let me ask this on the coComment support forums now. You never know!

    Ann, it seems to be OK for Safari 2·0 and up but the folks there did not test it with Safari 1·3.

    Jackie — I’m using Safari 1.3 at the moment. Will check it out…I’m feeling “community pressure”!
