Well, the fact that it already exists proves that it's not a WIBNI. So, baked would be a more appropriate tag. BTW, could you provide a link? |

For web sites that put all comments on a single page with the original item (such as this one), this would simply be a tool that would notify you when the page at a given URL changes significantly. All you would have to do is tell it what URLs correspond to your posts, perhaps by clicking a button in your browser. |

There would be some gotchas, for instance you wouldn't want it to flag a halfbakery page simply because the tagline up under the logo changed. |
|

When the web site uses a more complex multi-page interface for comments, the problem becomes more complex. |

Perhaps a better way to go would be to use RSS feeds. But then this idea kind of degenerates into a "let's all" -- as in, let's have all discussion websites support RSS for thread updates. |

[Paulo] it's worth interjecting that the hb does provide this facility - I have an RSS feed to monitor my ideas (e.g. posts to them). Try and Edit your view.
RSS does do what you want it to do, when implemented properly. |

Well, RSS is just a unified format for stories and updates to stories; you also need software to then manage the RSS streams, keep track of what your identities are in the various places, etc.
But, yeah, what Krelnik said. |
