Dabord, j’ai lu ces trois billets : 1. “del.icio.us backlink feeds”, de SÈbastien Paquet; 2. “Which makes me think of two things”, de Sylvain Carle; 3. “Does this exist?”, de Sylvain Carle. Ensuite, je me suis dit que ce pouvait Ítre une bonne idÈe de …

this means that you can print your comments in your sidebar, if you want, or make a full/side blog out of your comments, at least the first round of any blog comments.

I will check out this week.

cheers.

leave your mouse pointer on one of my “mycomments” links on the top right. It shows some of the 250 characters that I have copied and pasted into the “extended” field of my delicious entry.

is the problem just that and rss del.ishing allows only 250 chars, so you won’t see the whole blog comment?

But I think a blog that consisted _only_ of comments would be pretty damn cool. And in that case, delicious only taking 250 characters would be a problem if one wanted to automate it through delicious. However, if I were doing such a project, I probably wouldn’t mind cutting and pasting by hand.

I should mention that my rationale was to be able to track down material later for my own personal use, most likely if I was writing a blog post on a topic that I knew I’d already written about in a long comment somewhere. I also keep a text file with links to my comments, but this is only on one computer, so I use del.icio.us mostly for convenience. The public nature of del.icio.us is kind of a bonus, as I wouldn’t have marked the comment unless I was satisfied with what I’d said. :) But it wasn’t the main draw, which was why I didn’t even consider a side blog for it. If anybody actually follows my comments, it’s news to me.

I’m not sure del.icio.us is the ideal way to handle the issue. I’d personally like to see some sort of comment system standard or central database or whatnot which would allow users to see their entire comment history (of all blogs) in one place, check on any recent activity, and navigate threads (even if they were across various blog posts), plus the no-brainer user-authentication stuff, etc. All without the commenter doing any extra work beyond posting the comments on the blog. If made public, readers/subscribers should also be able to respond to any comments easily, which should be integrated into the discussion threads.

Dunno if this is feasible, or whether maybe del.icio.us or a side blog is actually the best way to do that with some tweaks. I don’t really delve into the innards of these things.

Have you checked out http://del.icio.us/tag/mycomments ? You’re the grandpappy of the big trend ;-)

Whoa, that myComments list is a lot longer than when I last saw it a few weeks ago!

Naw, I still don’t think I really started it. Maybe I just merely happened to be the first one to use “myComments” as the tag (for the exact reasons you’ve already explained). But if I’m wrong, I suppose I wouldn’t mind having that on my headstone (or Wikipedia entry). :)

Not exactly what I had in mind for the extent of my contribution to humanity, but ya can’t be picky.

you *can* mark the same url twice with this little trick (post in French)

Not a problem anymore with this trick : Just append a fake #anchor to the url for the first comment and a different one for your second. Del.icio.us won’t file them as the same url and target blog won’t notice it

You’re post is great. I think it’s cool that you’re using mescommentaires. I’m going to make another entry today about your post and 1 or two others.

cheers
