Looks like the comment challenge is a real success: if people start to like the value of commenting, blogs will become more and more interesting and interactive ! Regarding coComment features, did you noticed the browser side bar ? (Shift + Ctrl + Q) You can use it to directly browse your last active conversations, or directly see conversation added to the comment challenge group. Hi Kevin.

I agree, I didn't quite get the value of CoComment until I started using it, but I now find myself 'involved' in conversations, and connecting with readers and writers in a reciprocal manner. Hooray for the comment challenge! Thanks for the reflections, Kevin.

Now video :) . You need to check out my holiday video on my personal blog. From my research I worked out they aren't able to restrict time (i.e. 90 secs) but they do restrict length (size). So if you take you video put it through MovieMaker and compress it you can upload larger files - it also makes them a lot easier to upload. For example one of my 90 seconds video shot using my digital camera was close to 100 MB; I was able to combine several into 3 minutes compressing to around 10 MB and upload no problem (Flickr Loves ME).

Michele -- I did notice that your comment was a question. OK -- I did come to most of the blogs in my video tour via the Wiki and I did not bookmark the blogs on my own. Instead, I just used CoComment, which saves links to all the blogs that I comment on. That's pretty nice, I think. Why use multiple tools when one will do? Christine -- it is true that initial entry into video is a big hurdle but it has so many possibilities for creative expression that I would encourage you to consider it. And this type of activity -- safe, nurturing and in a crowd of supporters -- is a possible entry for you. If you want ... Bonnie -- You follow me. I follow you. You know how it goes. Nancy -- I would still like for you to host Day in a Sentence one of these weeks. Possible? Sue -- Can't help with Technorati. I did add the video to my blog (see new post). I like the Flickr video, although the limited file size and time may make it impractical for some projects. Kevin Thanks for dropping by, friends.

Bonnie — You follow me. I follow you. You know how it goes.

Nancy — I would still like for you to host Day in a Sentence one of these weeks. Possible?

Sue — Can’t help with Technorati. I did add the video to my blog (see new post). I like the Flickr video, although the limited file size and time may make it impractical for some projects.

Any way you could include links so that the rest of us could find them? Or did you get them through the comment challenge wiki? (Notice how I'm asking a question here on Day 4 of the challenge). :-) Hi Kevin–I really like your little video tour of the blogs you visited yesterday.

They certainly have inspired me in many ways. I'm trying to get over my thoughts that video has to be a big deal, so I look forward to learning from all of you who have integrated it into your toolkits. Teachers seem to be more adventurous than those of us who are trainers! Kevin,

I had fun last night just checking out different blogs and playing with the cocomment blue thing once I got the hang of it. I also loved the Bamboo Project and the dramagirl. I kept leaving comments after you not realizing that you were there first. How about that? Stacie's too. I added the Flickr challenge as well, although I think I had a problem uploading video to Flickr. Voice thread later to come. Easier this week you don't have to do much to get them published.
