BackType, as I’ve already explained in a previous post, is a comment aggregator. If you sign up, the service will track all the comments you make across the web.

BackType is infact a search engine. This means you don’t have to install any browser extensions or anything of the like to track your comments. The entire process is transparent and automated.

Using BackType’s API, I’ve created a wordpress plugin that lets you import your comments into your blog. On set intervals, (hourly, daily or weekly) the plugin will download your newest comments and add them to your database.

This is a great way to show your visitors what you’re doing on the web and find interesting. As an example, you can see my comments here.

In addition to the paginated listing of comments, a widget is also available for your sidebar. Lastly, you can set it up so that a digest of your latest comments is automatically posted either daily or weekly.

For more information and download instructions, go to the dedicated page: My Comments Elsewhere.
