Great idea! Is there a plug-in for TypePad too?

I personally believe this is a must, maybe not for big time blogger like PB but for smaller blogs, it encourages users to come back, I use it and find it helps bring me back to blog posts.

I’m the author of the plugin (and a b5media employee!) The plugin definitely works best on low-volume threads or dormant threads (which can become re-awakened as someone new leaves a comment).

For sites that frequently get several dozen comments per entry, it might be better to subscribe to the comments feed (for WordPress-based sites, just add “/feed/” to the end of the URL. So for this entry it would be:

I honestly HATE subscribing to comment…

Why? If you subscribe to a post on a very popular site, you will hate it when you check your mail box, it’s literally filled with mails and I just delete them all and get overwhelm.

If I did leave some kind of comment that I am expecting a reply, I just bookmark the post and come back later :-)

I have a way much smaller blog, but with some very active posts (500+ coms), with lots of subscribers, where some guys were commenting like nuts. I was forced by my hosting company to disable the notofication service, my blog was sending over 10k mails per day, sometimes 2k-3k per sec.

Don’t you have the same problem? :D

Even if this does lead to hundreds of e-mails being sent to my inbox each day it is sure a lot better than those annoying “free viagra” and “free vioxx” e-mails.

Thanks Darren.

I doubt if I will use it much, but I like it being available if there is a particular topic where I would like to see what others think.

thank you, darren(:

just a quick out-of-topic comment: i am really enjoying the flow of posts over the last two weeks. it feels like you’re making a new curve for all the blogging-community: great content vs publishing frequency, pushing the limits over and over again.

I've always had my reservations about using this plugin but if Problogger is using it, I will have to check it out again :) SpiKe Organize IT
