- dotBen (Ben Metcalfe)
- Tantek Çelik
- Stephanie Booth for coComment (wannabe contributor)
Examples of desired behaviors
- I post a comment to a blog, and want to monitor responses made to my comment - but I don't want to have to visit the website regularly to manually check for reponses
- I want to monitor all comments published to my blog in my newsreader
- I want to be able to be alerted when someone posts a comment to my favourite blog
Examples of existing formats, products and services
- coComment provides this kind of functionality by requireing each commentor to regisger an account with them and use a client-based bookmarklet to post a copy of the comment to the cocomment servers. This results in a semantically forked converastion. It does however provide an RSS feed for each blog post.
- WordPress already offers a comment stream RSS feed that can be pulled into the representation of the standard RSS feed of a blog via extensions in the originally feed.
- See comment-examples for more specific examples of comments being published on blogs and other sites.
