D’Arcy blogged about coComment, a new tool for tracking distributed conversations by keeping track of comments you have made on various blogs. Now we can achieve total zen-like serenity by blogging across the internet without actually having a blog. The description at the coComment site sound great, and a brief poke around shows that each persons list of comments has RSS and Atom feeds available, so someone can now establish a blog by putting up a single web page with a little bit of rss2js sweetness embedded in it, and update the content just by putting comments on other blogs, or just add a bit of the feed to the sidebar of a regular blog. This seems like a great way to encourage interaction. I know that I normally put my reactions to other peoples’ posts on my own blog, but with this I’ll be more inclined to be a bit more neighbourly. At least, I will once I have a chance to use it – sadly, coComment is in beta and requires an invitation code (which I have signed up for!). Heck, if I had this going already, I might have just commented on D’Arcy’s blog instead of posting to my own! :^D

Seems to work pretty well – except some blog entries are referred to as “Untitled” which makes it harder to follow the conversation
