Commentful
I hate it when I make a comment on someone’s blog, forget about it, and then find out a week later that someone replied to me, or worse, asked a question and then it looks like I just ignored them. I tried co.omments, but the last thing I need is another RSS feed to read, and I don’t want to visit the tracking page unless there’s new comments.
So I tried Commentful and I love it. A little indicator light appears in the lower right-hand corner of the browser that lights up green when someone makes a comment at a thread I’ve posted in. To track a thread, all I have to do is right click and I’m done.
When the indicator flashes, a click takes me to the tracking page. No more missed comments and I save time. Excellent.

Glad you like it – we have been working on some more features that should make it much more useful :)
While it doesn’t advertise it, it can track pretty much anything – MySpace pages, forum pages, Flickr, Haloscan, Digg, YouTube, Experts Exchagen, and whatever else in between :)

I use co.mments.com I use a bookmarklet whenever I make a comment and then subscribe to the page in RSS and I can read everyone’s comments after mine in my reader.

Yeah, I don’t want to clutter up my RSS with a bunch of new pages to track for comments though.
I can subscribe to a single RSS feed with Commentful if I want to, and then just check when the indicator flashes.

That’s a great idea that Commentful capitalized on. Thanks DG!
Just signed up to give it a shot.
Not the biggest fan of their logo though.. ;)

I have it on pretty good authority that we’ll be seeing quite a few changes, maybe that will include the logo. ; ) The manual leaves a little to be desired, just remember that the right click function brings up the ‘add to watchlist’. Took me awhile to find that.
