After installing iComment, it appears as a button on your browser toolbar. No registration required, just pick a nickname and start post your comments on the web. You can post comments in three ways:

• Webpage Comment - a general global comment about the web page itself which appears as the first comment located at the top right hand corner of your browser’s window pane.
• Text Comment - a keyword contextual based comment. Simply highlight some text on the web page and write a comment related to that text.
• Picture Comment - a comment made about the selected picture. If its a picture comment, the picture it references will have a dotted box around it. Then you know the comment is about that picture. To add a picture comment, right click on a picture and select “Add Picture iComment” from the menu.

Comments appear as note icons that reside all the way to the right of your browser’s window pane. You’ll notice the highlighted text on the website when you hover your mouse over the note icon. That is the text that the original iCommentator highlighted when the note was originally added. You can view your own comment or respond to other’s comments by clicking the iComment icon at the right edge of the browser window to maximize it. You can also add smileys by typing the keystroke equivalent.

You can also rank other’s comments and make friends with people who share your web interests. You can communicate with other iCommenters privately right through the button’s internal communication system.

iComment also allows you to use the iComment search engine on iComment.com to search through all comments. It will display all of the comments made by users and the web page link. You can sort the comments many ways including by website, by comment date, by the user that wrote the comment, or by the most recent comments.
