BEYOND THE BLOG
June 13th, 2008 by Jon Clements
Now you’ve got your head around blogs, park that as we’re on to the next big thing: comment tracking. The phrase is my invention (in a futile bid for cultural buzz word fame) but it’s a convenient shorthand for describing the world of CoComment, an online service for collecting in one place all contributions you make to conversations across the web. It tracks comments on your comments and, for bloggers, captures all their extra-blog activity on their own pages.
Leading French blogger, Loic Le Meur, hails this as a new dawn for commentators, who could end up as influential as TV pundits.
His closing comments on the importance of online conversations in consumer choice are a wake up call for brands.

I was using del.icio.us and the miniblog widget to do just this (I also thought to term it comment tracking but didn’t write it down anywhere. dammit. my place in internet folklore is now taken by you) but this looks like it will make the process a lot easier though.

Thanks for your comment, Andrew.
I wouldn’t worry about missing out on my pretty pedestrian attempt to capture the zeitgeist!
