Commenting is sexy

Hey guys… I wanted to show you a video on the coComment plugin I mentioned earlier. Watch the video then sign up here, install a plugin, and you will be able to track your conversations from all over the web in one place, no matter where they occur. It’s completely free.. PLUS, if you look to the right side of my website, there is a widget there that shows the recent conversations I have had all over the web.

You can follow me and participate in my conversations.. and perhaps back up your teacher for extra credit :-) Here is my personal page over at coComment.. so you can get an idea of where I have been conversing.

Check it out and let me know what you think :-)

    Wow. She is clearly asking people to cyberstalk her. Sure beats the average date, I suppose.

  • annuddermale

    naw…i’m thinkin’ she has more’n a modicum of commonsense…

    she’s a smart cookie… :cool:

    On a serious note, I keep learning a lot more than just philology from HotForWords. Marina seems to be quite meta when it comes to the ‘net, more cutting edge than most bloggers. And her students are along for the ride when it comes to all the new fwidgets and googogs. Wild. :eek:

  • errin

    Now I get it… Marina is using cocomments to cyberstalk herself! That way, she is totally ahead of the game when it comes to others cyberstalking her. Clever woman. :razz:

  • annuddermale

    “Watching Marina is a joy, but do not gander.” – Rule “I’ll be seeing you in my dreams” from The Marina Sychophant Handbook… :wink:

  • bobsully

    Great tool, although I can see what an unruly student I can be at times… :mrgreen:

  • annuddermale

    no, just adolescent dreams masquerading as “adult” comments…

    i’ll confess to having been in some of those sites…on a couple i met some of the nicest, most normal people, who simply wanted to learn more about themselves, their bodies, and the pleasure that could be found…but there are always the ones who just are too “hardcore”…

    at least for me… :roll:

  • annuddermale

    i do have to say that the headshot here is one of the loveliest pictures you’ve taken, Marina…

    and that’s not just the sychophant in me jabberin’… :smile:

  • melikadothechacha

    I wasn’t sure what this was about.
    Went to one cocomment site listed
    where a guy was ripping on the
    Bad Grammar piece. Bunch of ‘tards.
    Last thing I need in this election year
    is another juggling clown tryin’ to
    piss me off. Glorified use of the
    race card didn’t fly – sorry, not guilty.
    “african american vernacular” :roll:
    Ain’t nuthin’ American about it!
    Ugh! stupid is as stupid does…

    And that was the first (only) one
    I checked out!! Do I dare risk
    another one???

    OK – I think I shook that off.
    Hope I didn’t stink up the place.

    It appears the new camera is
    working good! It figures Marina
    has a little pink laptop for the
    nightstand. Teacher’s Apple?
    Where’s Kobe? He should’ve
    been romping the bed!

    Of course aLx found this first
    and is mocking Bob about it- LOL
    I guess CoComment would be
    useful for keeping track of his
    postings. That would be handy
    for responding quickly with links.
    So many times I have to rack my
    brain to remember which lesson
    had a particular comment that
    is worth repeating.

    I think I’ll wait to try the plug-in.
    Maybe see what experiences
    others report, first.

    ciao Y’all

    aLx, being first comment, no big deal. being first student with his pic in a HFW video is a big deal, Look @ 2:17-2:19, your 3seconds of fame, till you get swallowed by a blue hamburger thing. & no it’s not the finger.
    You were 2nd reply to something Marina said, do you remember the conversation? Noticed you wrote a whole sentence too, must have been important.

  • Bob

    I love you guys. :lol:

    Marina, CoComment News says:-

    Commenting is Sexy – Hot For Word’s Marina brings flirtation to online commenting again.

    So I think it’s time you did a video on “flirtation”, since you do it so charmingly.

  • http://mentalgrammarhasbeensetup.blogspot.com aLx

    oh yeah, my reply was a reply to her comment where she pointed us to the bradshaw of the future article.

  • alidor

    hey. It´s nice! I thank ou for the tip.

  • roadrunrnch

    I have never been a Groupie before. cool dude…….and blue?

  • dvdpage

    Melikado,
    I agree about the clown act and
    word accountability. My peeve is calling
    Native Americans – Indians. seems everyone
    doesn’t get it. and now that threy’re abundantly
    here in Silicon Valley it seems absurd. Ps. They
    are great! They meaning from a Cali. white man.
    Incidentally, Oakland tried to legislate and force
    feed the school system to teach ebonics.
    Stupid does.
    I like your comments
    I just signed up for co comments as Marina
    suggested. This should be interesting.
    They track you anyway so why not be in
    the loop.

  • leon63

    Hi Marina, have to admit you are the best educationalist I have ever listened to. Just starting but loving every moment so far.

    Have a good weekend teacher.

  • melikadothechacha

    I remember Oakland trying to mandate
    the ebonics, or we-bonics as it is known.
    those of us who dare use common sense
    as opposed to political correctness will
    always be targeted as “troublemakers”.
    When Nikita K banged his shoe at the UN
    I was six. I knew then, as I know now,
    exactly what he was talking about, and it
    wasn’t using “the bomb” as was interpreted
    by the media of the time (Huntley-Brinkley)
    .What NK meant has come to pass. America
    has been eaten alive from within by every
    subversive element we feared from the
    former USSR. Congress is undermined,
    just a bunch of wetnurse handwringer’s.
    Can’t make a decision without a poll…?
    Clue number one – if it’s PC, it’s wrong!!!
    Peace isn’t won until an enemy is unable
    to wage war anymore, and begs it to stop.
    Fools in this country don’t get it. Reagan
    did get it. He took a lot of crap from the
    nay-sayers, and proved them all wrong.
    Anyway, there are other sites better suited
    for these discussions. This is not the place.
    Let’s return to enjoying beautiful comrade
    Marina as she helps us to learn new and
    exciting things!

  • mloy

    Hi Marina!
    I’ve got a word/phrase request for you: “In a pig’s eye”–I was watching an old rerun of Star Trek and Dr. McCoy used this phrase with Spock to express disbelief or otherwise declare something as ludicrous bullshit.

    Thanks and have a great weekend!

  • http://mentalgrammarhasbeensetup.blogspot.com aLx

    uh. I’m confused.

    can anyone please tell me how that comment crap works? the comments are not at the actual site where the article is posted that you want to comment on. it’s on the cocomment site. but they don’t see that you posted there? and how the hell can you reply to a comment on the cocomment site? what the fuck?

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    aLx, you click on the link on the right of the comment that says “view blog” and it takes you to the comments on the actual blog where you can comment.

  • http://mentalgrammarhasbeensetup.blogspot.com aLx

    it doesn’t say “view blog” anywhere. anyway, I know how to get to the actual blog, I know how to view comments. but on the actual blog it says “0 comments” but there are comments on cocomment to that article. that’s what’s confusing me.

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    aLx.. can you give me a link so that I can figure out what you are talking about?

  • http://mentalgrammarhasbeensetup.blogspot.com aLx

    article with 0 comments.

    your comment on that article.

  • http://www.youtube.com/user/trgoblin trgoblin

    Marina…

    The “My Comments” side bar widget is great… but it might be even better if the links opened in a new window with the target ” _blank” rather than taking us off your site. It could probably be reconfigured to do that if others agree.

    And thanks for letting us follow your comments…. I’ve already seen some pretty interesting sites.

  • melikadothechacha

    I am not confused and so am I.

  • melikadothechacha

    this is another test to see
    how it works. the “view blog”
    i understand ok. this doesn’t
    take you straight to the comment
    (like an Email will). I guess that
    saves me time?? :roll:
    change is hard…

  • melikadothechacha

    ok – so how does this red envelope icon work?
    i click it and open a tab to a list where some
    entries are now gray while some are normal.

    [view blog] here will get me to the lesson/comment – ok
    -just like a bookmark, RSS feed or other shortcut

    [more options - untrack] self explanatory. another way
    to use that test comment, and dump the track

    [more options - mark as unread] so this is like email?
    I’ll have a little faith for now…

    [more options - open with sidebar]
    <—- so now i have a sidebar, huh?
    another page opens up to a blog.
    Surprise! Comcast is STILL $19.99…

    all this futziing around has left me
    no time to keep track of mr johnson
    much less my comments…

    another 48 hrs of cha-cha investigates :mrgreen:

  • melikadothechacha

    here is the response I got from CoComments support:

    Hi,
    Have you any additional plug-ins for your IE 7 or maybe other extensions? Have you installed our extension from our home page?
    The matter is that there are some plug-ins which blocks successful work with our product, for example, My IE. As far as you know, My IE is not licensed and officially supported by Microsoft, that’s why we also don’t support it. Only official plug-ins are supported. Check please, maybe you have such plug-ins in IE 7.0 which can block the work on our site?
    If you haven’t, describe please steps to reproduce this bag more carefully, and the process of our extension installation.

    Thanks for feedback.
    Galina.

    Thanks Galina. NOW we get the caveat!
    as in caveat emptor

    I cleaned out my tracking cookies
    and now Mozilla Firefox is dead.
    I can read my mail but I can’t manage
    it from Firefox – i think it’s busy counting
    to infinity – no other esponse
    Another impotent browser that
    f*cks it all up if you don’t let them
    spy on you!! Communism, big time!
    Be one of us or down you go…..

    So, now I have Firefox, with Cocomments
    (that isn’t working) and IE7 without any
    CoComments installed, but working.

    The bottom line appears to be that the
    best result from this product is not to
    use it at all?? :roll:

    Let’s all hope the product improves
    (by magic?) so that it can be made
    functional and useful to the users.
    That’ll be the day, right? :mrgreen:

  • melikadothechacha

    So my Firefox is back up?
    This goes beyond magic…
    Alikazaam! Poof!
    Hey Rocky! Watch me pull
    a rabbit out of my … hat! :shock:

    Marina? Galina? You guys are
    going to owe me BIG time to
    do all this field testing for you…
    I’ll take it in trade, though,
    whatcha got to trade? :mrgreen:

  • http://www.hotforwords.com Marina

    Thanks so much melikadothechacha!!!! You are the best! :-)

  • http://mentalgrammarhasbeensetup.blogspot.com aLx

    uh, dude? I tried it on ie7, ff, and safari. every one of these works just fine. maybe it was your 512 mb ram? ;P

    Be one of us or down you go…..

    that’s bush, not communism. ;)

  • melikadothechacha

    My tests are getting better results!
    Specifically the sidebar menu.
    People are all Blue Pac Men
    Once you see it with gravatars,
    it makes instant sense -Zowie!

    People, you gots to start using Gravatars!

    Next time I watch this video I
    should pay more attention to
    what Marina is pointing at – Doh!

    An issue remains regarding the
    reply box. this currently only nests
    one level deep as a comment group.
    The result is that to keep a flow of
    comments within that group, one
    end’s up flagging one’s self.
    geeek speak! 3rd person invisible!
    A possible solution might be to
    embed the reply box in all new
    comments. There may be a
    justified reason for it to be set
    up this way, a default, perhaps?

    I can see the pieces come together
    but I could use a few more tips :mrgreen:

  • melikadothechacha

    Of course you mean President Bush, I understand.
    My bent was more like insect communism, the hive
    mind set – relentless and merciless. Too deep and
    not sexy, sorry.
    Firefox is doing the job, now!
    I had a parallel moment where it felt like I was the
    PC guy in that Apple computer commercial…

    1398, from Gk. etymologia, from etymon “true sense” (neut. of etymos “true,” related to eteos “true”) + logos “word.” In classical times, of meanings; later, of histories. Latinized by Cicero as veriloquium. :razz:

  • kipp778

    Looking forward for your videos :smile:

  • danvonbose

    I request the word, aphrodisiac, you can be a bit of one. I suspect the name originates from the goddess Aphrodite. This is also a test of the co-comment system.

  • dolphinbite

    I’m pretty sure “Brolly” is British slang for an umbrella, but I have no idea what a “gamp” is.

  • j.p.

    Hello Marina, there is a phrase that i have heard for some time. “Drop the dime” meaning some one reveled the truth about someone or something, usually something illegal. What is the origin of this?

  • garimoshi

    dolphinbite,
    yes a brolly is an umbrella. A gamp is also an umbrella, usually a big, unwieldy one. This comes from Dickens’ book, Martin Chuzzlewick. The character, Mrs Gamp carried a big umbrella, which gave rise to the term “a gamp” for such a brolly.

    I don’t know if my experience reflects that of others. but this co-comment site is too slow. I feel like I am back in ’98 with dial-up. So, as busy, multitasking sort, I can’t wait for it to do its thing. I do leave it open though so that it eventually loads, but zzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
