BackType: Announcing BackType Connect

  • Stephanie Gerson · 8 months ago
    instead of actively looking up a URL in order to see its conversation, is there any way to get ALERTS when there have been comments on a post? I comment on lots of posts everyday, and I'd like to know when there have been new comments made on those posts, because perhaps those comments are responding to me. how to make this a push feature rather than a pull feature?

    Thanks for your comment. We have a feature called BackType Subscriptions that does what you're looking for, but it will only alert you on comments that were directly in response to the post you're interested in (whereas Connect shows multiple conversations happening on Twitter, Digg, Reddit, other blogs, etc)

    Hope this helps:

    This is excellent. I'd love it too if somehow I could have all the comments attached to my blog articles appeared with my article on my blog?

    Yeah, it is really brilliant.

    1) Ugh -- I typed my comment, then logged in to disqus, and my comment was wiped from the comment field (not so nice)

    2) original comment: so, does this mean it'll be possible to have something a bit like the "show friendfeed conversations" plugin for wordpress, only covering more zones of the conversational prism? (I prefer prism to graph in this context, honestly)

    The link I connect to disappears when I return to the Connect page. Is it this way by design? If so why don't you allow us to at least store the URLs in our account ?

    Interesting feature. Just trying to figure out what the boundaries are to this option.
