BackType: keep track of your comments everywhere on the Internet
So far, BackType seems to mostly track major tech and "social media" blogs, by guys like O'Reilly, Owyang, Winer and Arrington, but it has the potential to grow across all types of sites and become very useful. The ability to follow people's comments is a nice feature, as it lets you see what others (even those famous guys!) are reading and responding to. If you have an interest in the social aspects of the web, it's worth a look -- at the very least, to dig up some comments you might have forgotten you left.

Backtype is a great idea, and I'm hoping the service ramps up in short order. The blogosphere is much more interesting when it's a dialogue, and we need something to track comments as well as posts.
Commentino sounds good too, but it doesn't exist yet, so, y'know, can't say nuthin one way or anotehr.
