YackTack will track comments about your content that happens at other places
Just tested out YackTrack and find it a very useful tool. For a publisher (blogger) it seems to do for comments, what Technorati does for blog posts.
That is, Technorati can track blog posts that link to your blog posts, this way you know who is talking about you.
Comments to blog posts are also becoming of a distributed nature.
eg. If someone bookmarks your blog post at StumbleUpon or Digg and there is a few comments how would you know.
YackTack will track comments about your content that happens at other places.
I’ve even embedded the YackTrack link in the footer of my blog post template. You can also get this as a bookmarklet for blogs that don’t have this footer link, and it’s more convenient than entering a URL on their homepage.
They also have another feature called “Chatter” which has the beginnings of a comment search engine.
Question
On your results page it displays an RSS feed. This is like a comments feed for comments that don’t live at your blog.
What I would like to do is subscribe to just one RSS feed for my blog so I can be notified of comments that happen elsewhere about any post on my blog.
This is similar to Technorati…I don’t have to subscribe to an RSS feed for each of my posts, I only subscribe to one feed that takes care of all my posts.
Next I’m looking for a similar thing for the bookmarkosphere.
I want an RSS feed that will tell me when each of my posts have been bookmarked on any of the various social bookmark sites, and a chicklet counter. Perhaps a feature suggestion for aideRSS.

Out of curiosity, by “chicklet counter” you mean what, exactly?
(Feel free to ping us/me with feature suggestions any time!)

Thanks for that Melanie,
By chicklet counter I mean something similar to the Feedburner subscriber counter or the Twitter counter.
But instead of the number representing subscribers, the number would represent how many times blog posts from my blog have been bookmarked at the various services.
del.icio.us will only do this for a blog post, it won’t do it for my domain, whereas Spurl and Simpy will do it at the domain level (for all my blog posts)

I just ask that you have a little patience, and what you ask for will be delivered. YackTrack is still in the early stages, and the few questions you have are in the plans. After the next update I will be taking more requests for features and things like comment/digg counts. My blog (Regular Geek) is the “official” blog for YackTrack, so stay tuned.
