Co.mments is a tracker of our comments on the web, or perhaps we should say, of our conversations. It’s capable of showing all the responses to our comments on various blogs or sites on one single page. It also serves the RSS feeds of these conversations.

It started working nearly three years ago in February 2006. A great service, which just yesterday announced that it will shut its doors January 12. The creator made the announcement by way of an entry on the service’s blog. Although he didn’t give too many details, the reason appeared to be bloody spam, which does so much damage.

It hasn’t taken long for various people to offer to run it; unsurprising, given that it’s a successful service forced to closed just because of spam. We suppose that the creator, before taking this decision, has tried everything. Off the top of my head, integration with the marvellous and efficient Akismet comes to mind.

Before closing, we will be able to export our conversation lists using three formats:  JSON, XML and HTML. There are even services that are still running like Cocomment, which is very similar.
