SubscribeStrategic Commenting: No blog is an island
A great post by Amy Gahran:
If you view your blog as part of a public conversation, rather than a mere publication, then an easy way to attract more interest and interaction becomes obvious. I call it “strategic commenting.”
For me comments are a great way to talk to people right there on the blog. A great post is not a conversation, a great post starts a conversation. And they tend to flow very naturally when you’re commenting.
Sometimes one post leads to another one. You might be influenced by one post and want to write another one. Or you might want to direct people from one blog to another, because the audience is different. I think I’m doing that right now 
So go read Amy’s post, she nails it down brilliantly. I bookmarked it so I can follow the comments, but also so I can go back and read it again. And if you have more tips, please share with us.

Assaf, Amy’s right on the money, as you’ve said here. Commenting is (or can be) an important part of a blogger’s productivity. coComment has made it so for me, and I’m excited now to try out co.mments to see what it can offer me that coComment can’t, or how I can maybe use the two services together. Looking forward to trying your co.mments tool out!

Give it a try.
You’ll be able to track conversations from any number of blogs, and get new comments as people post them.
