@ Semeer: I had a similar problem that you did at first, comments that i would leave were not showing up. However, after I submitted the blogs that I was commenting on to Back Type (http://www.backtype.com/addblogs) the comments showed up real quick. For real, it took less than 3 hours after I submitted them.

Side Note: I’m posting this comment now so that the people who read the comments here on Dave’s blog will see a positive story about how fast Back Type is in regards to indexing comments of their users.

@Dave: I would not have started to use Back Type at all if you had not exposed me to it via Twitter / this post. Thanks! Using Back Type has been a great experience for me.

@GC: I’m sure it is clear from the rest of this comment, but I’ll say it anyway. I really love what Back Type is doing. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the response CG. While I’m don’t have a set of blogs I comment on regularly (I basically comment wherever I find interesting content) I’ll do what I can to populate your list.

Hi Sameer,

We’re sorry that we are missing your comments. It’s happening because we haven’t added the blogs that you comment on yet. If you submit them to us, we would be more than happy to add them for you:

Backtype would be great if it actually worked. Seriously. I’ve had an account for a few days now, and I leave comments on sites prolifically, but it still says my last comment was made three weeks ago.

Heck, I left about 15 comments on sites just yesterday, and Backtype doesn’t even think I have 15 comments on the web, total.

Great idea in theory, horrible execution in practice. Really really bad. I’ve already moved along.
