Recently, we lowered the rates for our Pearl Comments hosted service. If you heard about Google’s new Sidewiki public web page commenting system and are looking for a private, workgroup focused solution take a look at Pearl Comments.

Yesterday we released updates to the Pearl Comments Server and to Pearl Comments for Firefox. New features that Firefox users will see include:

An option to replace your name with “me” when displaying
comments.  You can adjust this option from the Pearl Comments
options window.
An option to show the URL of the page for each comment in [...]

Pearl Comments 1.6 includes:

• Support for inline spell checking in Firefox 2.
• Improved international support. (Thank you Modex!)
• Improved saving of the selection when creating new comments.
• Option to ignore query string portion of the URL when creating or matching comments to web pages.

One of the most requested features for Pearl Comments is to the capability to control how comments are displayed in the sidebar and on the page. As we already mentioned , in the 1.5 release of Pearl Comments for Firefox you can control the appearance of the comments using CSS.
