I see it now. Sorry. I was looking over in the right hand column, at the link to your Technorati profile – stupidly, of course. You put it where it ought to go.

Just posted to tagsurf suggesting they enable “watching” of URLs so that you could be notified when someone posted with a link to blog.pietrosperoni.it/*, e.g. I take it this would help to alleviate your concern about missing comments. I included a Trackback to this blog entry – which functionality is new to Tagsurf, I believe, but it may not be.

I haven’t used trackbacks a lot. I take it you, the recipient in this case, can do with them what you will, i.e., ignore them, or add them as a comment, or whatever. Is that right?…

In any case, re Tagsurf: Yes, obviously it’s still alpha, and under active development. Increasing the user base can make it much more useful, of course, which I think would be a Good Thing, so I would encourage you *not* to remove the link, and instead to look for the URL watching functionality – or even second my feature request for same(!)

I did think of removing it, but right now is still there, near the permalink at the end of the post. Are you sure your browser is downloading the bubble from technorati?

And I did thought of taking it off, becuause I realised that if people comment there, I am more likely to miss the comment. The technology is still far from perfect.

You seem to have removed the “tagsurf button” you describe (above) placing “down near the little technoraty bubble.”

May I ask why?

[...] Tagsurf, qui ne me semble pas très adapté à mes usages. Je continue à le penser, mais cet article en donne un mode d’emploi très complet et intéressant.
