My So-Called Homeschool

I’ve found neat tool to use to keep track of all my blog conversations. It’s called coComment, and so far I really like it. If you use Firefox, there’s a handy-dandy extension that makes it very simple to save all your comments to the coComment site. If you don’t use Firefox (barbarian!), you can install a bookmarklet to click each time you comment on a blog. All your comments are listed on a page — and you can tag them as well for a neat tag cloud of all the things you talk about around the web. I’ve found some new blogs (like I need more to read!) by looking at other member’s comment lists as well. It’s not a huge traffic-generator like Blog Explosion or Blog Mad, but it can get you some new readers. The only downside at this time — and I’m hoping they’ll fix it soon as they’re a young site — is that the coComment box doesn’t work within the BE or BM frames when you’re surfing for credits.

Anyway, it’s worth a try to see if you like it! I do.
