So far, CoComment has worked like a charm for me. I wonder if it is a browser issue. Ten minutes is a lifetime in this world, I agree, and no one needs more drama (unless that is the kind of person you are). I say, whatever platform works for you, go with it. Kevin Wow

There is a third option, commentful, which is a Firefox extension that only shows that a new comment was made but doesn't include the text. My biggest problem with coComment is that it prevents me from actually leaving comments as long as it's enabled. Sort of defeats the purpose of a comment tracker if you have to turn it off every time you want to actually submit the comment, huh? I did briefly reinstall it for this challenge, just to see if they'd fixed the problems, but it still won't work on my system. When I try to submit, it says it's sending to the coComment server, but then hangs indefinitely. I literally stopped it after waiting 10 minutes for it to finish. Honestly, if it needs more than 10 minutes, I don't have time for it anyway; co.mments takes maybe 20 seconds. My experiences with coComment's customer service have been, shall we say, less than positive, so I'm not interested in talking to them again. I don't need that kind of drama in my life!

They are working to improve this feed because we've told them this is what we want. Here is <a href="http://www.cocomment.com/webRssUser/suewaters/66d2aa99981e8adf4e24.rss" rel="nofollow">my feed</a> so you can check it out in Google Reader -- provided people follow my directions for subscribing to their feed this is the one they will grab.

Thanks for stopping by my blog today! I may be reading much more into this than what was intended, but I think the point of the Comment Challenge is to remind us that we can all be part of "the conversation", part of "the network". You stated it: "I love the idea of connecting with others". That's the point. You and I first connected a year ago on Classroom 2.0 and so much has changed since then. There are so many ways to connect! Twitter and Diigo are two that are at the top of my list at the moment. So use whatever verb you want - blog, comment, tweet, tag... (are these really verbs?); do whatever you can to be part of the network. The learning possibilities are endless... Hey Kevin! Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

Thanks for stopping by. I, too, am getting my feet wet with Co-Comment. I can see its value, though. It's still Saturday night here, so you are way ahead of me, friend. Peace Kevin Well

You test blogged me - I didnt feel a thing and to pay you back , ahem , I mean reward you, I am now using you as my Day 2 activity. The difficulty I am having with blogging on new blogs is that I tend to read within the limits of edubloggers because that's where my interest in blogging lies; makes sense I guess. CoComments has me a but baffled still because of familiarity with it mostly. Well hey, its Sunday morning, at least I am trying. Hey!!

It's always nice to see some new avatar faces in the ol' comment bin. I agree with Christy -- manually tracking any meaningful conversation seems unwieldy to anyone with a life outside of the Web. So, I am enjoying this experiment with CoComment, after all. See you around (cyber)town Kevin Thanks to all of you for your comments.

I then visited your blog and read some posts. I particularly enjoyed the Love That Dog by Sharon Creech post as it captured the essence of that sweet book and it was fun to see how you engaged your students with it! See you around! Hi Kevin,
