The Evolving Newsroom

Two ways to keep track of comments

A couple of observations on two comment apps that I'm finding useful. 1. I sometimes bounce around commenting on various sites then forget who or where they are, which means I can't check back later to find out how the conversation's progressing. Some blog sites have an option to receive an email whenever a new comment is added to the thread, but most don't. Enter Backtype, which showed up in a Google alert a couple of weeks ago and looks promising.
