So, how do YOU keep track of it all?

What's your recipe?
Conversations happen inside of and arround text, video, audio, photos/images.
Most to all of these are posted in a blog(gy) site.
Some occur within social network environments.
We need better ways to make these conversations more cohesive, tidy, structured, shareable and visually logical.
Tags and feeds are only pieces of a solution that to my knowledge does not yet exist.
Dredging out what people already do in order to keep track of their web will be an important part of this discussion.
Thanks for any comments you can add.

I have an old-school setup that sort of works. For 'social networks' I
rely on the service to provide me with ways to track conversations. The
photoservice I use ( www.23hq.com/andreas ) makes this bearable by giving
me a page that's divided into three sections:
- Comments on my photos.
- Comments on photos I've commented on.
- Comments from my contacts on any photos.
The last part is genius. It allows me to see what my contact are excited
about.
For blogs and related stuff I use my browser's bookmarks. Terrible
old-fashioned I'm afraid. Whenever I've left a comment on a blog entry or
found a blog entry I want to track I save a bookmark in a bookmark folder.
This folder is then shown as a button on the bookmark mark in the browser
and I can either open the entire folder or one at the time. After each
conversation dies I delete the bookmark.
I don't use comments RSS because RSS readers are dumb. It's too hard to
unsubscribe (why no list called "feeds that haven't updated in 7, 14, 30
days"?) and I can't easily route comments RSS into a different section
than my usual feeds.
I signed up for one of those comment tracking services, but never used
them. I was required to hit a bookmarklet *before* writing a comment and
that just wasn't working for me. Silly, but I only ever thought about
tracking the conversation *after* I had submitted my comment and by then
it was too late.

how would your ideal system work if it had to be different?
what do you think about a dash of co.mments.com, a sprinkle of
rssfwd.com and a touch of coComments.com on top of talkdigger.com ?
;-)
stay tuned, always.

a site that has searchable lists of conversations already being tracked. a list of conversations you are tracking, a feed that can go to an aggregator or email - threaded.
you shouldn't have to comment to track. you shouldn't have to rely on others using the same tracking system in order to see their comments (i understand coComments will be fixing these soon. yay).

You send so many links that I haven't had a chance to check of them out.
After Anne's suggestion I've started to use co.mments and I really like
how it works. I do wish that I could see which conversations my friends
are tracking as well.

track. It would be nice to be able to track both ones I commented on
and ones I just want to be updated on.
Maybe that will be fixed in the upcoming release.

Hey Devlon,
the next release will include, among other things, "Track this
conversation" (even if you are not participating) and a spider (that
will follow your conversations even if non-cocomment users
participate).
Stay tuned, it should be out next week with 6-8 more new features,
better usability, more languages, etc etc...
now back to work ;-)

So far those are the only issues that are barring me from using
coComments a lot.
