Delicious comment threads
This makes my head hurt – indirection makes me sweat – but I think that Michael Lenczner is proposing a way to use del.icio.us not only to track the comments we leave on people’s blogs, but to bundle together different people’s comments into one RSS feed so that you can see, for example, where all of the contributors to Many2Many are commenting.
But, I got this wrong in several rounds of correspondence, so I’m pretty sure I’ve gotten it wrong again; I am user but not a power user of del.icio.us. Read Michael’s blog entry to get the straight scoop (and to get the scoop straight).

Ooooooh if this works it would be SOOO cool! Off to see if I can get my head around it too …..
del.icio.us + Comments = What, Exactly?
Joho (Weinberger) points to this entry which describes the flyweight relationship between del.icio.us and blog comments. This is interesting to me for several reasons:I often post quick comments to my del.icio.us rather than the original site, because …
David,I’m so glad I’m not the only one who can’t figure it out! Sometimes I feel incredibly stupid. I have found entering into blogging to be really easy, but using all the cool things introduces a pretty steep learning curve!
Tracking blog post comments with del.icio.us
Michael Lenczner describes how he is using del.icio.us to keep track of blog posts he comments on—and the ones commented on by other folks he’s interested in (via David Weinberger). Sounds excellent.
This might help. http://www.stamen.com/projects/reblog/
It’s a project that my boyfriend’s design firm created with eyebeam.org. it was just released so you might not know about it yet. i don’t fully get it, but reblog has helped organize all my rss feeds including del.ici.ous …thank god!
reBlog facilitates the process of filtering and republishing relevant content from many RSS feeds. reBloggers subscribe to their favorite feeds, preview the content, and select their favorite posts. These posts are automatically published through their favorite blogging software.
Fumbling along. Here is the M2M tag I’m trying to use. Is that what we are using?

i don’t know if i understand you correctly. but I think what you want to do is subscribe to http://del.icio.us/rss/choconancy/M2M (which is the RSS option below all the links in http://del.icio.us/choconancy/M2M) to get the updated feeds sent to, say your reblog account to view and keep track of and publish to your own site.
But i think it would make everything easier if you all would tag the comments with m2mcomments in del.icio.us (not m2m AND comment) that way when you click on that particular tag you can then subscribe to the m2mcomments feeds.
better? or worse?
Nancy (and others), do you know that you can use http://del.icio.us/choconancy/M2M+comments ?
Also: once you have a lot of stuff under certain del.icio.us category, it starts showing you who else bookmarked it and under which tag. For example, http://del.icio.us/mathemagenic/socialSoftware (middle column, bottom part).
More examples and some other related stuff – http://blog.mathemagenic.com/2004/10/26.html#a1401
I would use the tag “mycomments”. Why? Because if you are interested in using the rss feed for http://del.icio.us/tag/comments, there will be a lot of posts about comment spam and so on whereas “mycomments” is more unique so that http://del.icio.us/tag/mycomments will be relatively clean of crap.
Listing you.
Let’s see what’s happened so far. Here is a list of everyone using the “mycomments” feeds as well as a link to their delicious area: Hugh’s mycomments synesthesia’s mycomments CR4D’s mycomments synesthesia’s mycomments Lilia Efimova mycomments adh’s my…
Oi, deciding is hard. So which shall it be?
M2Mcomments
mycomments
anyolddamncomment

use two separate tags. one to designate many2many. and the other to designate that it is a comment that you want to keep track of. for the second tag I recommend (again) “mycomments”.
For the first you can use m2m, but check to see if other people are already using it. I think someone is. I would choose one that is more unique (and less likely to be used by someone elese for a different purpose). However, like seb said, you can always get rid of junk by splicing/aggregating the info from your individual delicious rss feeds (instead of using delicious/tag/m2m).
Or you could just ask seb to recommend a system for you group and then follow it? He totally groks this stuff.
Yeah, that makes complete sense. Tagging seems to be, like wiki, a concept so simple that it’s difficult.
here is a (i think) simple how-to if you are want to post your own comments from elsewhere back onto your blog … goto the main page and scroll down below recent posts for an example (I can’t get it to show up on specific post pages).
