Comments on: Cocomment: A step towards joined up blogging http://ceoblog.calicojack.co.uk/2006/10/20/cocomment-a-step-towards-joined-up-blogging/ Calico Jack CEO Mon, 06 Oct 2008 12:40:38 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.0.4 by: Paul Sergeant’s Blog » Blog Archive » Social networking: not an open and closed case http://ceoblog.calicojack.co.uk/2006/10/20/cocomment-a-step-towards-joined-up-blogging/#comment-5 Fri, 03 Nov 2006 18:10:07 +0000 http://ceoblog.calicojack.co.uk/2006/10/20/cocomment-a-step-towards-joined-up-blogging/#comment-5 [...] I was born in Great Yarmouth, a town on the East Coast of Norfolk. The town is essentially built on a long sandbank formed at the confluence or rivers flowing from the Broads. The tidal Breydon Water lies behind the town. Small boats navigate its narrow channels to move between the Broadland Rivers. My room overlooked the sea and the ships in Yarmouth Roads. As a child I spent many hours wondering where they were going and what was over the horizon. One day I found out. Our old Wolseley was lashed to the cargo covers of a Dutch freighter the Superior Producer and we set sail for Rotterdam. The MV Superior Producer is now a diving attraction in Curacoa. My father had a mildly dissident nature and he didn’t see why he should drive 70 miles to the Harwich ferry when Yarmouth had a perfectly good port (it would have been a shorter journey for Chris, who coincidently also comes from East Anglia). Something in this early biography might explain why I’m not a clubby kind of guy; Why I recoil from “exclusive offers”; And why I found it easy to agree with Jon Udell’s recent comments about closed social networks such as LinkedIn and StumbleUpon. Indeed, I had previously enthused about CoComment’s potential for powering dynamic social networks. I discussed Jon’s article with Rick Moynihan, a hidden hand behind much of Calico Jack’s Web facing activity. Rick, who originally introduced me to Jon’s blog, was totally in accord.

He has recently (and happily, may I say) discovered coComment, and he has the feeling (as we do too!) that coComment has an important role to play in the world of online conversations: […] the most exciting thing is Cocomment’s potential as a component in a much wider conversational subsystem. There is clear synergy with some of the things that Calico Jack has recently been working on. Leaving aside some reservations about data location, I can see Cocomment having an important role in a new generation of dynamic social networking applications.

We're glad you like it. I suppose you've seen that coComment allows you to leave comments on pages that aren't "comment-enabled" like blog posts? (what we call "meta-commenting"). Thanks too for pointing to Jon's post. That phrase on ownership has given me an idea for a blog post on the coComment blog (trackback coming when I publish it). Thanks for your post about coComment!
