I recently blogged about CoComment's new Firefox Extension. I was pretty excited to see it, and really enjoyed not having to use the bookmarklet to track my conversations.

I got an email a couple days ago from Vic Correro at the Writesville blog, expressing concern that referrers info was not showing up properly in stats for TypePad sites.

It's better than just taking a poll because it would allow people to make suggestions in their own words and to include items not found on the Agenda Page (TypePad Hacks' master list of feature requests).... Share Your Wishlist Project: I'd like to ask everyone to post an entry on your own blog listing the ten features/changes that you would most like to see.... I've created a feed to display links to all the wishlist pages in the sidebar, so this will make it easy for others to find and read your list....
