Commentful vs. coComment
Do you know Commentful? It’s a relatively new service that promises to take the special place in your heart that is currently occupied by coComment. Or simpler, to replace coComment in your everyday blogroll reading. It worked for me!
Commentful is a service that watches comments/follow-ups on Blog posts, Digg submissions, Flickr pictures, and many other types of content. When ever there is an update, such as a new follow-up or comment, Commentful notifies you instantly.
You should really check it out, it’s very easy to use, it features a handy bookmarklet and it helps organize your online conversations immensely.
Five reasons why it took my special coComment place:
- You can specify a time window during which you want to watch a particular item for follow-up comments. At the end of this, Commentful automagically deletes outdated items from your list.
- Editing and deleting your watchlist items is a matter of seconds, due to AJAX.
- The blink button. OMG, you haven’t seen the blink button? It sits right beside your address bar and blinks when a new comment has been added to your watchlist. Blink!
- “Mark all as read” functionality. No more blinking!
- It’s a really, really simple service to use. Lightweight and simple, that’s what it takes to get into my daily routine.
On the other hand, it doesn’t provide all the things that coComment gives, like tags, tag clouds, nested comments view etc. But if you can live without it, Commentful is a more than adequate alternative to the popular coComment.

Zaharenia, Thanks for the “review” and post on Commentful. We just wanted a very simple comment tracking solution. We will be adjusting our limits and adding a few tweaks here and there in the near future, stay tuned.
