Thanks!
After less than 2 weeks of operating as a closed Beta, the coComment service is now fully open! First of all, thanks to the entire coComment user community - your positive feedback has been overwhelming, and your active collaboration with the development team in helping us improve the service has been fantastic.
What we’ve been working on
As we’ve communicated before, the past couple of weeks were intended to be a very “soft” launch to test the service stability and scalability, and to get some initial feedback from the closed user group. Specifically, over the past 2 weeks, we have:
- Stabilized the core service and considerably improved scalability
- Responded to user feedback and addressed your desire to add support for a wider range of blogging platforms (we’re still working on more!)
- Improved the coComment bookmarklet and added the ability to enter your comments into your coComment account after you’ve already submitted it on the blog site. (In other words, tried to address the fact that a lot of people - including us - forget to hit the coComment button before submitting comments).
What’s next
We’re still working really hard to add new features and respond to all your feedback - and this a process we don’t ever intend to stop. Top priorities right now are:
- Both a browser extension and blog integration to eliminate altogether the need to click on the bookmarklet before submitting comments.
- Enabling you to track all of your conversations in their entirety - not just conversations with other coCommenters.
- Allowing you to tag conversations, in order that you can more efficiently find, organize, and structure your conversations.
- Enabling you to follow not only your conversations, but other conversations on topics of interest to you.
- Allowing you share conversations you’re tracking with other people.
- An anonymity function, so you will not be identifiable in any way as the source of comments you want to keep anonymous
- … and some other cool stuff we’d rather keep in “stealth mode” for now…
We’ll keep you informed of new developments, and in the meantime, we encourage more feedback and participation! Thanks for helping us make coComment a useful service for everyone!
