BlogFollow is a WordPress pluggin that shows a snippet from a commenter’s blog at the bottom on their comment. The purpose of this is to encourage user participation in your blog, by providing an incentive – an excerpt from their blog. Both parties win. The blog using BlogFollow receives more comments/content. The commenter has a chance to win new readers using both the comment and a snippet from their blog, which may be completely unrelated to the post topic.
