The official coComment weblog

Our CEO Matt Colebourne will be presenting at Always On conference held in New York City, this coming Tuesday (1-29-08) as part of the “Hottest companies in the web services sector”. If you are in NYC next week come by the coComment table and say hello. This year’s theme is Disruptors of Marketing, Advertising, Branding and PR and we look forward to some interesting conversations! coComment Team

One of our integration partners Snap.com is running the Badge-O-Rama contest, and we thought you might want to participate and help choose the winning badge. You can post comments, track them through your coComment account and view what other had to say about the badges. Click here to access the contest and start commenting.

Yesterday I was speaking at the CES/Digital Hollywood panel “The Next Generation in Mobile & Broadband Platforms: Social Networks, Widgets, Search, Information, Advertising and Personalization”. We shared the room with an exciting group of speakers and a dynamic audience. It was an interesting discussion covering a range of topics. We talked about widgets on Facebook and social media and shared best marketing & advertising practices in todays’ digital world, which is highly influenced by UGC (Used Generated Content), with comments/conversations being an important part of it.

It was really great to hear from many of you that came up after the panel to tell us that coComment is solving a real need in the marketplace. We are constantly looking for ways to improve our service, so please keep the feedback coming. We look forward to connecting with you soon for integration partnerships and to tell you more about coComment.

Another event that was the highlight of CES for us was the CES “It Won’t Stay in Vegas Blogger Party” hosted by the Parnassus Group. It was fun to meet new bloggers as well as connect with some of the old-timers, like Robet Scoble, Brian Solis, Sarah Meyers, and Tom Foremsky. Some of the new bloggers we met were interestingly enough from corporate-driven blogs, like Disney Imagineering, which is doing some really cool things to interact with their consumers via a series of blogs around their brands.

The party venue was also very interesting one (The Atomic Testing Research Institute), with many unusual and fun toys (for geeks like ourselves), so we picked up some “Space Ice Cream” and an Einstein video … not exactly what one would expect from Vegas, but it made us happy

Thanks you all that stopped by at the party and the panel and we look forward to seeing you next at the AlwaysOn Media conference in NYC on January 28-30th, 2008.

The coComment Team

As you may know, we recently sent out a user survey in order to get your feedback that would allow us to better serve your needs.
We want to thank you for taking the time to complete the survey and share with us your opinions and suggestions about coComment.
We have gathered great information and have already started working on how to implement as many of your suggestions as possible, in order to make coComment a even more useful tool for you.

We have already selected ten survey respondents and will be announcing soon.

Thank you again, and please keep the feedback and suggestions coming.

coComment Team

From all of us at coComment, we want to wish you Happy Holidays. Thank you for this wonderful year and all the best in 2008!

coComment is one of the sponsors of this year’s Le Web 3, in Paris on December 11 & 12. Come by our booth located in the exhibitor area to say hello, check out the latest features and take a t-shirt home.
Entrepreneurs, bloggers and web2.0 players around the world are attending this year’s conference. A truly International event, with over 1000 people from around the globe.
This year’s theme is “New Technology” and we love to tell you how coComment will play a part in the next generation of web technologies.

In case you hadn’t noticed, we issued a new version of coComment this week. There were a number of minor fixes and two new functionalities that we’d like to tell you about.

coComment on Facebook

We issued a Facebook application. Actually, we issued two. One to allow you to show all the comments you’ve made and another to show all the comments on your site. To load them simply search for coComment in the applications area and install them to your Facebook profile.

Here’s a picture of my comments shown in my Facebook profile.

coComment conversation outsourcing

As you probably know, we have been powering conversations on a few select sites recently. We got some good feedback on this so we have launched this as a service that anyone can use. Simply go to Tools>Tools for Site Owners>Outsource Conversations to coComment and input your site details. You can then use this code to deliver conversations on your site completely free of charge.

As ever, please keep the comments and feedback coming. We are very much in the ‘polishing’ mode where we are looking to make coComment the easiest service to use as well as the most complete.

coComment was at Blog World Expo in Las Vegas last week and thank you to all bloggers that stopped by to say hello. It was great fun and we put together a short video from the conference itself … hope you enjoy it! Kristina

We will start now an upgrade of the service database. Although we are making all what is possible to keep the service up, you might experience some slow down or disruption in the next 2 hours.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
