PRLog (Press Release) - Jul 01, 2008 -
SAN FRANCISCO, CA – coComment (www.cocomment.com), the leading platform for managing, powering and researching conversations online, today released major features that it has developed in association with its worldwide community of over 1.3 million users. With over 17.7 million conversations from over 270,000 sites, coComment is the largest community of people actively engaged in online conversations which increase and enliven content across all subjects.

coComment’s community-inspired new features include ranking and rating of comments by user and by tag to make it easy to find specific conversations or people. This enables the best conversations, rather than simply the most prolific, to become much more visible and accessible.

With the added features users can now:
•   Qualify comments based on the reputation of the commenter
•   Target and analyze specific users and conversations
•   Provide a feedback loop for commenters, publishers and bloggers

“We engaged our users, who are the largest population of active commenters in the world, and they told us that their comments were a fundamental part of their online personality. They wanted features that would enable them to place value on comments and commenters, and respond to and monitor comments in the moment,” commented Matt Colebourne, CEO of coComment. “We’re delighted with this response and dedicate this new release to all those community members who have provided such great feedback and support to us.  We at coComment hope that these enhancements encourage even more people to join in the online conversation.”
