Don't you hate it when you comment on a blog and you have to revisit it to see all the comments left by other people? This can get really difficult when you currently comment on over 10 blogs or so. Isn't it a pain to have to revisit each blog just to jump back in the conversation?

Luckily, we now have a solution: Today I was one of the lucky people that were able to test out a new service, called coComment, that allows bloggers to track all their comments in the same place. This idea will change how people comment on blogs. Here's how it works:

1. First, you add a special bookmarking on your bookmarks toolbar, and go over to any blog and write a comment.
2. Instead of clicking the "Submit" button, click the coComment! button in your toolbar. Then click the Submit button on the blog.
   

Doing this will allow coComment to track all the latest comments on that blog. Doing this sends it to your "My Conversations" page. You can see mine here. coComment is currently in a private, beta. Readers of course, will be allowed to comment asking for an invite, and invites will be give out once it enters invite-only phase.

What makes coComment different is you can share your comments in a simple box that can be added to any blog. coComment also generates a RSS feed for your page and the team has told me that new features will be added such as integrating coComment into your blog, and the ability to customize the appearance (eg colors, fonts, etc.) of coComment elements.

The current blogging platforms that are supported are Blogger, Wordpress, MSN Spaces, MySpace, TypePad, and Xanga. I honestly think that once this service opens up, it could be very popular with bloggers. I currently hate that fact that I can track comments without getting all the other comments Emailed to me, so coComment fits the gloves great. As I've said wrote, this is in private beta. Once it is released in the form of an invite-based beta, I'll update this post and start sending out invites. If you want an invite, leave a comment.

Update: Someone has pointed me out to some invite codes. I can't send this codes to you via Email, but I'll post them here. Some may not work because they can only be used once, and may have already been used. If one doesn't work, try another:

Update 2: According to the coComment blog, they will be sending out invite codes to anyone that has registered for an invitation sometime Monday morning. Head over there and sign up!

Update 3: I've been told that the codes above don't work. I've been hearing that when you sign up, that within an hour they'll send you an invite code.

Update 4: Here's some more coComment invite codes. As with the ones above, some maybe used already. If they are, just use a different one:

Update 5: Sorry for this post being offline. I saved it as a Draft before and Blogger took the whole post offline. coComment has also added support for Flickr and has fixed some problems with commenting on Wordpress blogs.

Update 6: I found some more codes. Remember, some might not be working because they've already been used!
