Use CoComment to track your comments
I discovered a site that allows you to track all of the blog comments that you post. It is called CoComment.

You can either install an extension (the automatic way) or a bookmarklet (in case you want to choose which things get tracked) to save your comments to CoComment.

You get a single page and RSS to track them on.

Of course, that RSS feed is perfect for use as a Custom Site on Profilactic. I have mine in my Mashup already. Check it out here.

The only bummer I've found is that there seems to be no way to remove a comment from your CoComment page. For example, I did a test post using the CoComment test blog and it shows up in my RSS feed. I would really like to be able to delete it.

Other than that, I think the service is great and should be a perfect complement for members of Profilactic. We will probably add CoComment as one of our default sites since they use your username in both their URLs and RSS feeds. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Actually if you want to stop tracking a conversation, you need to go back to the post that you commented on and, if you are using the Firefox extension, you uncheck the "Track this conversation" checkbox on the Post a comment form.
