Here is a Plugin that lets you interact with your most avid fans by allowing you to see how often they have been active on your blog. The
Comment Info Tip WordPress Plugin ads some further usability to WordPress blogs and the way we can connect with each other.
What I really like about this is the way I can see as a blog owner who has been a very active commenter. Unless I study the comments physically and take the time to dig deeper, this is quite annoying really. Especially when you are
pressed for time as most of us are.
Now by using this Plugin we can simply hover over any comment and it will throw back some useful information. For example, we can see:
- how often the person has commented on the blog overall
- if the commenter has posted more than once, the Plugin will attempt to pull the RSS feed and show an excerpt of the latest blog post
- the Comment Info Tip Plugin will also indicate trackbacks and pingbacks
- if the commenter has posted more than once the Plugin will also display the links to the last three posts they have commented on on your blog

As bloggers we all love to get as many comments as we can. After all, having an active community of commenters gives us a sense of achievement. With the
Meet Your Commenters Plugin you can now connect even more with the people who comment on your blog by showing you some “insider” information within your dashboard about them.
The Plugin works with the help of the
Google Social Graph API.
When visitors leave a comment on your site they leave more info than you think and with the help of this Plugin you can connect through social networks where information is provided all through your dashboard.

BT Active Discussions is a brand new
WordPress Plugin that acts via a phpBB platform. Instead of having a recent comments Plugin you could use this Plugin to save space in your sidebar and yet still give your readers a great overview of where the action is on your blog.
I really love this Plugin, as it will save space but allows readers to see where to go to find active comments on your blog. This means no more hunting around to see where, what and when as you can do this on the “recent discussions” page instead.
To install the BT Active Discussions Plugin, download the zip file from the
WordPress Plugin Directory.

“
Oh no.. not another minor upgrade!”
Did that thought cross your mind when you found out that
Wordpress 2.5.1 was released? I know I did.. given that I have 6 blogs to attend to.
If you installed Wordpress using Cpanel/Fantastico, you can probably wait a few more days before doing a fuss-free upgrading (though some users have reported problems with this method).
You can also install the
Wordpress Automatic Upgrade plugin which, in Keith’s word, helps you to easily upgrade your wordpress installation to the latest version provided by wordpress, without having to download or upload any files. This plugin has proven useful for those who got it to work.
I promise myself to try out Keith’s plugin one day but for now, I’m still doing manual upgrading. I just feel more secure and in control

Have you ever wondered what the commentators to your business blog sound or look like?
Well you don’t have to wonder any more if you use
Wordpress.org as
Seesmic, the video conversation site founded by Loic Le Meur has recently released a plug in for your Wordpress.org blog so that your community and followers of your business blog can leave video comments.
I’m about to update my blog and will certainly be checking out the plug in for video comments which you can access at the
Seesmic Wiki.
I’m wondering if that will mean I can no longer blog in my PJ’s if I’m going to leave video comments on other peoples blogs!

Wow, this is something that I was not expecting, but it does make sense.
TechCrunch and several other blogs announced that they already have a plugin installed to allow readers to post video comments. In fact if you head to that post you will be able to see dozens of examples, including some from Mike Arrington himself.
The
WordPress plugin was released by Seeismic, who will also be hosting the videos. You can decide if you want to allow only Seeismic registered users to post video comments, or even anonymous people.
Overall I think the idea is pretty interesting, if nothing else for the possibilities it opens up. Another takeaway message is: video is coming, and it will be everywhere.
