New Wordpress Plug-in - Comment Info Tip

Wednesday May 14, 2008

Thanks to Chris Garrett for steering me in the direction of a very cool new Wordpress plug-in, Comment Info Tip. According to Search-this.com, here's how it works:

When you mouseover a commenter’s name you will see a tip appear displaying some information about that given commenter. The tip will display 1 of 4 results:

  1. If the commenter has only posted once, then it will say so in the tip.
  2. If the commenter has posted more than once, the plug-in will automatically look up the last three posts they have commented in and display links to those posts. This allows you to see which type of posts this user is interested in and easily navigate to those posts.
  3. If the commenter has posted more than once, the plug-in will automatically attempt to search their RSS feed and show an excerpt from their last post.
  4. If it’s a pingback or trackback, the tip will indicate so.

Follow the link to see a screenshot of it in action and download the Comment Info Tip Wordpress plug-in. I can't wait to try it!

If you've already tried the Comment Info Tip plug-in, leave a comment and let us know what you think.
