So I just found out about CoComment, and it might be the most useful blog add-on I’ve come across yet. What it does is provide an easy way to stay on top of what you write not only on your blog, but in the comments sections of the blogs you visit. You can embed a simple line of code in your own blog to display all the comments you’ve written, and it automatically updates the list. If you look toward the top of the right-hand column on this blog, you’ll see my CoComment box. Those are just comments I’ve written since I set up my account this evening.

I can see this being really powerful for student bloggers. As you read more blogs, you start to comment on them. Now you can easily follow your thoughts throughout the blogosphere (and someone please smack me if I start using that word more than, say, once a month). I wish I was using this service back when the whole Dan/Sarah blog etiquette/NCLB throwdown was still going on.

Anyway, it’s definitely worth trying out. Learnerblogs users, you’re going to need to create a text widget (under the Presentation menu) in which to paste the code that the CoComment setup process spits out. I’m happy to show you how to do it, if you can’t figure it out on your own. Have fun!
