The official coComment weblog

The new coComment is here, and it brings a LOT of improvements to the existing service. We will detail each feature in future posts, but here is an overview of what’s new:

• THE COCOCRAWLER
  The coCoCrawler has arrived, and will keep an eye on your conversations for you. Remember when coComment would inform you of new comments only when they were made by other users of the system? It’s over now, the most requested feature is up and running (it actually has been running in hidden mode for a month) so don’t be surprised to find many new comments in your conversations.

• TRACK THIS CONVERSATION
  Another heavily requested feature: you can now track conversations even if you don’t participate! Simply check the appropriate box after coComment has been activated. The conversation will appear in your page and be followed by our crawler.

• META CONVERSATION
  Want to comment on a web page that has no built-in comment functionality? Now you can activate coComment on any webpage, and create a comment which will trackable in your conversations on the coComment service. If anyone else comments on that page, you’ll be able to monitor the conversation - as you would on a comment enabled website. Now you can start conversations everywhere!

• NEW INTERFACE, SITE STRUCTURE AND NAVIGATION
  With help of the great usability specialists Namahn, we have reorganized and simplified the site. A new homepage will facilitate login and registration, a new navigation allows easy access to your conversations, community, and tools.

• TRY THE SERVICE WITHOUT REGISTERING
  If you want to give coComment a spin without signing up, a temporary cookie will be set on your browser - without you having to give any information.

• FILTERING OF CONVERSATIONS
  Filter your conversations by type. See what you said on blogs, on media sites, in forums, choose how your conversations will be displayed.

• AND TONS OF OTHER FEATURES
  Five languages available (English, French, German, Italian and Spanish), more capture-compatible platforms (most notably YouTube!), add people or sites as favorites, send coComment invitations, customize your page (try to drag and drop the boxes on the right of the screen!), and much more!

A lot of new things for you We hope you enjoy the new coComment, happy conversations folks! We’re glad to see our top commenter already likes the new features!
