Track YOUR comments on other blogs?

[sdollen]

Anyone know how to track comments you've made on other blogs in the sidebar of my blog? I saw this on someone's blog as I was flipping around. Sadly, I didn't get it bookmarked.

That would be coComment: http://cocomment.com/

Thanks Matt! Now, I just need to get it to look right ;)

I like to relay on services of my own :), hence coComment is not for me. I started doing that a few days ago, that is, keeping track of my comments somewhere else. What I do is, using the WordPress bookmarklet, I highly my comment on the 'other' site and I post it to my weblog, to a specific category.

That's the reason I asked how to exclude one category from the index (front and paged). I wanted to keep my "Somewherelse" category from showing there. The thread is still open to debate/help (http://getk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106), since the way to do it has brought an undesirable side effect I can't live with.

However, if unfortunately your database crashes, then you'd lose all that data (unless you do daily backups or your host does). It's always nice to have data on another service, unless you're the paranoid type. I rely on Gmail because I got sick of having to reformat my hard drive and forgetting to back up my entire Outlook data folder.

If my database crashes and I loose all data because I did not have a backup, the least I care about is having my comments, posted elsewhere, safe. My posts are more important and they would be gone! My comments will stay there wherever I wrote them, all across the Net and "Googable" :-)

Ah, Matt, that's why I don't use Outlook and, more importantly, I don't use POP3. IMAP is the solution... and backup, of course.

[Matt]

Yea, if I had known about IMAP back when I was using Outlook, probably would've saved me lots of headaches.

I like my internet history Googable, the idea of my grandchildren reading everything I did is neat. I'm weird like that, I guess. :P

Just FYI - there is a plugin that was created and still having bugs worked out, but its called X-Comment. Its over at http://dailydoseofdave.net/x-comments/

It doesn't rely on an outside service like co-comment does and it's easier than David's method.

Yes, I took a look at it, did not like it. Has tables in it, and it does not has the whole comments, just a snippet. I tried it, broke the default K2 quite nicely. When it matures it might be a good thing. For now, I will pass and keep doing it as I explained before.

I'm having trouble implementing it on my site right now, but there are several that are running it on K2... so, it's a fairly viable option.
