coComment, where did you go?

I have come to depend on coComment to continue the conversation after I leave a comment. It has been offline all day.

I consider coComment a tool that I don’t want to live with out. It is part of my dashboard on the web, like WordPress.com’s My Comments.

coComment where did you go? Where are my comments?

Stephen Sherlock noticed performance issues on his blog, and it seems that it is because of this coComment outage.

Should I give co.mments another try?

I read how much Darren Barefoot is enjoying Commentful. I will give it a try.

Are you using something else?

2007-4-4 Update: coComment is back online. No, update on the coComment blog as to the outage.

I tried Commentful’s bookmarklet, and redirects offend me I actually lost a comment because I expecting the coComment behavior of adding monitoring without refreshing or redirecting.

2007-4-5 Update: Christophe let me know that coComment has a blog post up with some information about the outage, but it seems to still be a bit of a mystery what happens.

Hi,

We are very sorry for the outage yesterday. Actually the service was still working, but was inaccessible for some people. We are investigating what happened.

Regards
Christophe

Hey Lloyd just curious what you liked about coComment over co.mments? Last time I looked at coComment it would only track member comments and it was very clunky to use. This was a while back…

Thanks!

Back last July, coComment added tracking for all comments. It was not a painless update to their service, but within a couple of months I stopped using co.mments all together.

Although far from exquisite, I prefer coComment’s feed over co.mments . coComment adds the comments as individual posts to your feed.

I’m playing around with coComments now and so far it looks not bad. I like that they have a firefox extension that auto-detects comment areas and allows you to tag your comments right in the context of your comment creation.

Thanks for your opinion.

Scott, I don’t like the Firefox extension because last I tried it there was no way to disable it for a site like Flickr.com .

the extension has a bunch of problems. the CSS/js for that little tagging form is really slow to load, and wound up making my browser unresponsive for sites where it wasn’t even relevant.

I agree that CoComment is a vital part of commenting for me. It’s just too much of a hassle to keep checking back for new comments. At the same time, I don’t want to subscribe to comments via RSS or email, I just want them in a nice place that I can view them when I’d like.

I even wrote a post about it!
