    Commentful comes with a nifty extension for Firefox/Flock that sits silently on the Firefox status-bar and notifies you of updates by becoming green (like a traffic light).

  • How frequently does Commentful check my Watchlist for updates

    Commentful checks your watchlist for updates every 15 minutes

    Two ways - RSS feed or visiting your Watchlist. See our usage page.

    It is updated in real-time everytime you visit.
