Senior team grows at coComment
coComment, the leading internet application for comment and blog tracking, today announces a significant new hire.
Nicolas Dengler, who whilst at Swisscom Innovations was responsible for the initial development of coComment, joins the company as Chief Architect.
CEO Matt Colebourne commented, “I’m really delighted that, now that coComment has secured funding and become a company, we’ve been able to attract Nicolas to join. coComment would not exist but for him. His involvement will ensure that, as we speed up development, users continue to be our key focus.”
Nicolas expands on the point, “coComment arose because I saw a need for the tool; conversation across ten or more sites where thousands of users post their comments is simply not possible without coComment. You either can never find your comment again, nor the responses to it, or you just lose track of where you’ve been having a conversation. It’s great to see an idea become a business and to then be involved in that business.”
He continues, “Conversations and user generated content are the fastest growing part of the internet. A single news piece on, for example, the BBC or CNN can generate comments from thousands of users. This is great for both the user and the publisher; the user because they are interacting instead of just consuming and the publisher because people are spending time with their content and enhancing it. Now it’s time to connect all these interesting conversations and interested people on another level.”

Hey bostonmarketing, we will be an ad-funded service but will also offer users the option to opt out of viewing ads for a small subscription payment.
However, at the moment, we’re focussing hard on improving the product.

I found coCo has new func added, such as blacklist. But, what does it use for? :-S
And I also found there is no place where I can edit the blog site and title before I post comments. So what should I do if I’m not sure whether the site and the title are correct?
February 22nd, 2007 at 16:51
Hi xorms.
Nice pick
The blacklist feature enables you to disactivate the coComment client on a specific URL (for example, on a blog where you never want to have your comments tracked). This is a solution to help our users to solve privacy issues that they could have, for example on intranet blogs.
If the coComment client is not sure about the support of the site, a red ! will appear in the coCobar. You can click on it to check the urls and titles.

So if the site supports coCo, then I have no chance to check again?
February 22nd, 2007 at 20:02
Yes. If coComment fully support the site or the site is integrated, you cannot change the values.
