Thanks for the props! I look forward to seeing what comes of yacktrack, too. Keep up the great work on your blog (I subscribed even before you added the button)

Well, that is when it becomes difficult. I have had this request a few times, so I will be looking at it. However, there are a lot of things to do, and I am going to be taking small steps. I want to make sure I add useful features in a good way. I do not want to slap stuff together and pray it all works. There are enough of those types of sites already.

Hi Rob, thanks for coming by and thanks for building a great tool. What I’m talking about is similar to how FriendFeed allows people to respond directly from the flow into the channel of conversation. Is it possible to have the link and a button underneath each one that says “care to comment” and have it go directly into the comments section of the respective host? For example, I see an interesting link to DIGG and I want to say something, could I do so from YackTrack and have it appear at DIGG – without leaving the site?

Thanks for the kind words on YackTrack. One question, what do you mean by “jump into conversations directly”? There is a significant difference between linking to the comment pages and supporting commenting on YackTrack that go back to the source. Does that make sense?
