Thanks for Web Success Diva (Maria) for tipping me off on BackType.
This cool little app was featured at TechCrunch as well and for good reason. It’s a killer idea!
What is BackType?
Think Twitter, only the people you follow and the content displayed is much more interesting and on topic. Instead of people typing in what they are doing at the moment, BackType follows you around the web and re-posts the comments you make on blogs to your central BackType account.

It is an entirely new look at the web. Ever wonder where your favorite bloggers comment and spend time? Already I have found Michael Arrington and Darren Rowse commenting on blogs I hadn’t heard of before. Here’s Maria’s profile. Give her a follow for showing us all this cool tool!
Those guys know where to spend their time! You can find some really cool places on the web to comment and engage in your niche when you start following people who are also in your interest area.
