In the fight against drive-by-commenting, we've come one step closer towards "It just works". The changed behavior of the coComment bookmarklet should make following your conversations on the web much more enjoyable and make the service more accessible to new users.

Beyond that honorable cause, the newest release of coComment also makes the first step towards seemlessly making the rest of the web conversational, one page at a time. The true usefullness of this might not become apparent until our next release :-)

The new Firefox extension does a beautiful job and continuously learns from its user base about pages and comment forms where it should auto-enable coCommenting. On pages where commenting is not possible, it automatically adds a commenting fascility to the page, so that coComment users can leave comments on any page on the web.

This same automatic-mode can now also be leveraged by any browser that supports user scripts . Combine that with the bookmarklet and you get almost the same functionality that the extension provides for Firefox and Flock in other browsers such as Opera , Safari (using Creammonkey ), Internet Explorer (using Trixie ) or Epiphany

ILoveJackDaniels already reports it to be working in Opera and I have tested it in Safari with Creammonkey.

Let us know how it works for you , when you use coComment as a user script!
