I’ve discussed Furl vs deli.cio.us in the past and for myself, concluded that Furl has better functionality for research purposes, but I’ve started using deli.cio.us as a way of tracking my comments on other people’s blogs, and I’d like to share how simply that works.
*step 1 go to http://del.icio.us/ and register for an account
*step 2 drag the “post to del.icio.us” bookmarklet up to the Firefox Bookmarks Toolbar
*step 3 whenever I have made a comment on a blog, click the bookmarklet and type “comment” in the Tags box, that’s all.
*step 4 subscribe to the RSS feed for my own comments.
Now I can easily check back and see if there are any further replies to the conversations I’m involved in. And by publishing here, anybody can follow me around should they feel so inclined :-/

That seems a good idea – i might try it out.
You don’t have to check back for comments on pages if you grab the url and put it into your subscription at watchthatpage.com you’ll be emailed anything new that goes up after your comment. can be a bummer for pages with ads, but no big deal really.
