Bloppy - Track blog comments!
- Published July 9th, 2007 in Web 2.0
I do believe that doing a good thing usually involves solving people’s problems. And I had a really big problem. I was losing track of the comments I made on blogs and respective follow up answers. Some blogs already feature a follow up plugin (like Wordpress) but not everyone has the chance of having it.
Bloppy will hopefully be a straight and simple answer to this problem. You insert the URL of the post and your email and, boom (is this copyrighted? :-), you’ll have the updates on your email. You’ll never lose a follow up. Again.
I also did a Mac OS X dashboard widget that automatically retrieves the URL from the browser you’re using and also saves the email so it turns the process into a single click. You can download it here.
The current version of Bloppy works on Wordpress, Blogger, Sapo Blogs and for blog.com.
If you like what I did please spread it within your friends. Thanks!
So it’s finally live hum? Great! :D
Btw it would be great if we could add a small tickbox to the comment box to use the service, or a firefox extension/bookmarklet… :P
Dextro, yeap it’s live. Hopefully it’s already stable enough. Anyway, the ALPHA stamp is there :-)
As for the feature requests, they’re already on my queue list :-)
Testing the Bloppy bookmarklet !
Bloppy - Track blog comments!…
Mário is this month’s hero on productivity. Well, at least mine ;)How do you track comments you’ve made on someone else’s blog? Keep the pages open and check them once in a while? Bookmark them for future checking?Well, Mário solved…..
João,
Thanks for the comment! :-) The system has no black magic or pigeons working for me. It simply gets the post feed and takes the number of comments from there by doing a simple XML parsing.
