looks like something a little bit similar to Discuss itslef where we can follow people, but finding comment looks like the service, We feel fine, where it gathers comments with some particular feelings or phrases. The added feature in blacktype makes it a good thing to get adapted too. I agree with the industrial part, than can be a great tool for marketing, better than other stuff we use to find relative comments.

It's a great feature, we can do "make friend with comment" and also follow our competitor or friend using backtype. Thanks

I cannot even imagine how you would go about achieving something like this!

I agree - I just signed up and have no idea how to get my comments published even though I have entered my blog

Good call, we'll make that clearer.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hello, just a suggestion. Maybe enter some more information about what happens next once you signed up. I created an account, added my posting URL's and then waited for something to happen. I am not sure if it is going to find all my existing comments or just future comments, and if it does find existing comments how long it will take. Apart from this, looks like a useful tool

Got it.
True, my main goal is to track conversations I'm participating in. So I was wrongly oriented to your service.
But I will still have a deeper look at the features you mention. Seems to be very interesting.

If you're looking to track select conversation threads, I think the other services you mentioned are a better fit for you.

BackType is really about:
- Following comments by topic (via search)
- Following comments by author (via profile)

If you want to follow a specific conversation, BackType simply links to the blog where the conversation is taking place.

Good luck :)

Thanks a lot for your very quick answer. That rocks ! ;-)

However, as I want to track conversations, I do not see any issue in installing a browser plugin. But I understand it might be a problem for some people.

Now, I'm not totally sure I understand how you will know I want to track a particular conversation. Can I notify your service that I want to do so or are you monitoring the millions of conversations happening on the web ? (blogs, media sites, ....)

BackType doesn't require users to install any browser plug-ins, etc. You simply visit our site and follow the people or topics you're interested in.

Co.mments.com lets you track comment threads for individual posts if you bookmark them.
CoComment lets you track comment threads for individual posts through a browser plug-in.

They are quite different from BackType. Hope that helps.

Thanks for the comment.

Hi,

Looks very usefull to me.
One (hard ;-)) question for you (to help me to better understand your service and decide which one I should use): how do you position yourself compared with services like co.ments.com or cocomment.com that both track conversations and help users to follow/share conversations ?

Thanks.

Thanks for the kind words. We're working hard to add blogs and I'd love to get started on Dutch blogs - I'm half dutch (although I can only know the bad words). Feel free to send me an email at mm [at] backtype [dot] com or visit http://www.backtype.com/con... and let us know what blogs you comment on so we can add them to BackType for you.

Hey Guys, looks like a great service to me. A kind of "Comments 2.0". A comment aggregator by user must have a huge potential. It looks like you're not yet indexing our blogs in Dutch. Yep that's across the Ocean ;-).
