Low Tech Comment Tracking Solution using Maxthon Groups

I've had on my latenight coding TODO list the creation of a comment tracker which would notify me of new comments on other peoples' blog posts where I left a comment or simply wanted to track. There are a ton of web site monitoring apps out there which seems a logical solution, and writing a homegrown version wouldn't be difficult at all...once I found the latenight coding window to do it in, of course.

Short of investigating and installing a monitoring app or rolling my own, I found a great low tech solution using the Maxthon browser's Group functionality.  What I've done was create a Comment Tracker group, then simply right-click on the tab and add it to the group.  There is a limit on the number of tabs per group, so the Comment Tracker group may require more refinement, say, by month or something, but it seems a workable solution for me at the moment and so I thought I'd pass it along.

nice screen shot! Actually, that would be great. Sometimes I forget where I made a comment and want to go check to see if there is a response.
