@commented-on

Update I’ve updated this site to include a list of recent comments I’ve made powered by del.icio.us and @commented-on. A quick hack of the txt.icio.us plugin and some thinking on at rules for del.icio.us later and their we go. Expect more details soon.

Update Ben has posted an update to his post with a quick hack of the del.icio.us bookmarklet.

Ah Ha. Nice when you have a vague need and think about spending some time coming up with a quick solution, only to forget about it until you come across a solution.

I’m busy (ok sometimes) but only part of that is down to my blog reading habit. I only occasionally find time to comment and then often forget where I’ve commented and no doubt miss the follow up. If only their was a quick way of keeping track. Where did I comment and when? What if (strange, probably stalkerish) people wanted to know where I had been commenting and what I’d been saying? Well thanks to Ben we may have a solution.

Enter del.icio.us. Ben has suggested using the tag `commented-on and who am I to argue? By tagging any page I make a comment on in this way del.icio.us will keep a record at as well as make a feed available at del.icio.us/rss/garethr/@commented-on

Nothing on those at the moment but as I comment on things around the web I’ll try and remember. The whole flock thing would be particularly useful for this (at least once it’s a bit more stable) with it’s built in del.icio.us setup. A couple of apps spring to mind on that back of this, and playing with rss is still one of my fave things. A textpattern plugin (I’ve been meaning to at least have a look at building one at some point) or some social network app would be interesting. Watch this space (maybe).

Anyone else start using this technique leave a comment. I’d be interested to see it catch on.
