Gamermk:

I’m not trying to start a flame war here, but I am bit annoyed. First of all, that’s how trackbacks work. I referenced his post, so a bit of mine shows up here, since logically, if I’m referencing his post, my post may have some relevance to what he’s talking about. But, Kevin already explained that.

The other thing is… You said “Is anyone else tired of this guy…”

What are you talking about? This is the first SitePoint blog post I’ve EVER trackbacked on.

I think you have me confused with someone else.

[...] coComment is far from perfect – I’ve outlined a few problems with it already on my blog here – but it’s still a great tool. It’ll be an even better tool once they work out some of the kinks. It is, after all, still in beta. Bonus: A nifty little piece from Kevin Yank at Sitepoint.com about coComment. Snippet: That said, I don’t think coComment has all the answers. For instance, as this Web-wide conversation platform develops, what should be posted as a comment and what should be posted on your own blog? If you use coComment to do both, how do you unite the two separate streams of conversation that may result? These are some of the interesting questions that will need to be answered and soon if the panacea of unrestricted online conversation that they propose is to be realized. [...]
