Jom Comment
Comments with syndication - splendid idea!, September 21, 2006 |
I've been following up the development of JomComment for a while, and I make bold to say it changed a lot and I am sure it will be, because it is developed continuously. The back-end interface was exhaustively reorganized, and I discovered some new features in the front-end as well. I liked it quickly because in the era of syndication the RSS feed feature for each content item makes easy the users to bring the new comments to their desktops.
Have you ever tested a comment system clicking the Print icon of a content item? And have you noticed that the comment form is visible on that page? Funny, isn't it??? Don't worry, there is no comment form when using JomComment :)
It's so cool that it can be easily integrated with 3PD extensions. For instance, I use it with the Bookmarks component on my site.

Bookmarks
It can compare with the commercial components, July 22, 2006 |
If you would provide a web link directory for your visitors on your site, I make bold to say Bookmarks is the best choose for you - it can compare with the commercial components in its category. It can fetch the meta description of the added link, one link can be stored in several categories. From v2.7_1s Beta it can obtain Google PageRank. The links can be rated and recommended by the users. I got surprised at the multifunctional module system: Copies of just one module needed to display the stats, the latest additions, the top rated bookmarks depending on your settings.
Its usage a bit complicated: it would spare some time for its users if it fetched the title, the description and the keywords by one click, what the user would modify when necessary.

Just one feature missing, July 21, 2006 |

The module is great, but I think it was complete if the visited site would be set as the home page of the browser, so next run the browser would be launched with this newly set site.
