Brian D. Hawkins : Now Where Did You Put That Comment?

Posted by Brian Hawkins in November 30th, 2008

BackType.com is a prime example of a great idea put into action. BackType.com allows you to setup a profile, yes it’s social networking too, and as you comment on different blogs in the blogosphere BackType will archive those comments for you.

This is very useful when you sit back and try to remember where you made that clever comment two days ago. Instead of searching your browser history looking for a needle in a haystack you just go to your BackType profile and find it there. I have done exactly that several times already.

Another cool thing about having your comments in one central location like that is sharing your thoughts with others. Other bloggers can even tweet or reply to the comment right from your profile. Bloggers can follow each other and even subscribe to each other’s comment feed. Just like other social networking sites this interaction makes it easy to make friends with your friends – only now you can get a better idea about someone when you see how they react to various blog posts.

Did I mention BackType is free? Check out my BackType profile here: http://www.backtype.com/ExtremeEzine

I was inspired to try BackType from Shanker Bakshi dot Com’s post Find, Follow and Share Your Comments With BackType

Great. I’ve learned something new from you. I’ve been using Gmail for a couple of years I think but it is only now I’ve noticed the used of filters. Thanks for the link love. Will surely share it to my followers

Hi Dennis, No problem. Just getting in a little Camtasia practice.

Sheryl Loch Said in February 11th, 2009 @7:45 pm

Hey Brian,
I am not sure how people get by without setting filters & folders. I do have everything that gets a label also goes in a folder & skips the “IN” box. That way it only takes me 2 seconds if I am looking to see if mail from a certain project has come in. I would be in a real mess with just plain ol’ email.

I see you are going all Camtasia High Tech! That’s great – now when I try it I will know who to ask for help!

Hi Sheryl, I love Gmail. I hope it sticks around for a long time without ‘improvement’. Remember ‘New Coke’ LOL

I use an old version of Camtasia but it was free. Let me know if you need a copy. I want to learn more like zooming in and editing the video before I use it. Adding captions would be great. I need a teenager to show my these things

Hi Beok, Glad you liked it. I may do another one soon.

Hey Brian, if by chance you have free time and you still have that old free Camtasia app, I would definitely want a copy, if you don’t mind of course. You know my email address.

I have begun being interested in making video posts. I guess, I’m beginning to enter the phase where writing pure text posts is becoming less exciting and besides I plan to spruce up my blog content a bit with videos every now and then.
