Commentful from BlogFlux

BlogFlux, which has a number of interesting services available for bloggers, has launched a new service called Commentful.

Commentful is used for tracking posts on blogs, bulletin boards and a number of social sites, and it notifies you whenever a new comment has been added. This is useful, for example, if you ask a question on a blog, as it means you don’t have to keep revisiting the comment page to see if anyone’s posted a reply.

A full list of the sites supported by Commentful can be found here.

If you use Firefox, there’s an extension available (isn’t there always!) which allows you to add a site to your watchlist by right clicking on the page you wish to track and choosing “add to Commentful”. It really is that easy to use. Users of other browsers can add a bookmarklet, and click on this to do the same thing.

I’ve been using another service called coComment to track online conversations for a few months now, but I’ll be interested to see how Commentful compares. One bonus with coComment is that the system uses avatars, so when viewing posts it’s easy to spot other coComment users. Commentful does show promise, though, and there’s really not much in the way of competition (the only other similar service I’ve seen is co.mments, which I haven’t yet tried properly).

Thanks for the BlogFlux info. I just started a Yahoo blog. I use the free Urchin Vers. 5.0 for my lewmayart.com stats. It truncates data so I’m not sure about the visitor count. Anyway, thanks for the tips.

Lew, your cartoons are wonderful. You really have your own signature.

I hadn’t heard of Urchin, but it looks as if they may have been bought by Google, as I see mention of them in Google Analytics.

I just spotted a referrer from Commentful. I went to check it out and yep, just like you said. Odd how you wrote about it and now I’m seeing it. Veja du!

If it gets you easy traffic, and helps you in the process…

At first glance, I find the add URL within the tool quite attractive. Mind you, I love the Firefox add-ons!. But I would also like to have the chance to choose to add a link manually. When I am not working from my own computer, for example.
