Actually it would be totally transparent for the comment; only the blog owner would have to think about the Wordpress stuff.

Of course, since it's not an usual habit of replying to comment by email, it would require some explanation somewhere--maybe in the email.

Great idea fred.

Wordpress is a good (plugins, community) and bad solution though : you'll have to think twice before writing a comment : "let's see ... is this a WP blog ?"

@vincent Google Alerts might be an option but the mails you receive are not really well formatted and the setup would be too complex to follow comments -- I think you'll get some garbage anyway --, thus you can't reply unless you follow the link. This is not what I propose.

Thank all for your comments.

@beachbum who's the Eric you're mentioning?

@alexis I tried co.mments.com and I didn't like it.

@heri why not, I think something like this can be coded pretty fast.

You should have a look at http://co.mments.com/ by Assaf.
A great tool.

I wonder if something like this can be achieve building upon google-searches? Their alert-systems tend to work great for me and combine well with mail.

That sounds like a great idea. you should post that as a comment on Eric's profile. I'm working on a contact system for my blog that worked like a threaded discussion. It will be a private thread and not public. But I like the idea of a public thread tracking system.
