<![CDATA[How to Comment: Commenter RSS]]> Last week Lifehacker showed you the elaborate process needed to receive Comment Reply Notifications, but this week we'll take it a littler slower with Commenter RSS Feeds. Here's How:



If you've got that special commenter that you can't get enough of, the first step in stalking them is setting up an RSS feed that will notify you as soon as they make a comment. It's super easy! All you have to do is navigate to that commenter's profile page, I'm sure you already have it bookmarked, and in the top right corner under Giz Login you'll see a RSS Feed button. Simply click the RSS feed button and your browser or default RSS reader should do the rest.

<![CDATA[How to Comment: Friendly Messages]]> Remember a few weeks ago when we showed you how to make Friends on Gizmodo? Did you know you can leave your new friends messages? Here's how:



After you've made a friend simply click their commenter name and you'll be redirected to their profile page. Once you're at a friend's profile page click the Message link under their screen name and you'll now see a Leave a Message box followed by all their recent messages. Just type in your stupid message, select if you want to make it public and hit submit. It's that simple, but remember you can only leave messages for your friends and not just any commenter.

<![CDATA[DIY Scrolling LED Business Cards Miss Point of Business Cards, Still Cool]]> Over at Instructables is this DIY project that will let you make your own slender electronic business cards with built-in LED display. They're pretty cool, displaying a number of different scrolling data messages at the push of a button, and apparently cost just about $5 per card. The "slender" description means you'll have to be good at soldering surface-mount components, though. To me it's a cool project that will impress people, but kinda misses the point of business cards: easily disseminating your contact info. An LCD QR-code business card— now that's something I'd fancy. Head over to Instructables if you've got the LED maker-urge. [Instructables]

<![CDATA[Diesel LED Watches Have Hidden Mirror Displays for Sci-Fi Chic]]> Ah, a digital watch with an LED display that's not impossible to read... fantastic! Even better, the LEDs on these new watches from Diesel are a dot-matrix screen, and are hidden behind a mirror surface that makes the whole package look suitably sci-fi. Like something Luke would've worn on his cybernetic wrist. You can even program the display to scroll messages up to 20 characters long. Having "Use the Force..." scrolling past is too much, you think? Available with a mirrored patent strap (DZ7091) or a black leather one (DZ7092) for $170. [Diesel via Technabob]

<![CDATA[Blackboard Wall Clock Does Two Things at Once]]> We've seen plenty of higher-tech solutions to the problem of leaving messages for others in your household, but this multipurpose Blackboard Wall Clock looks like a simple way to take care of two things at once.

The 9-inch square clock was created by English sculptor Richard Miller out of a hunk of Pennsylvania blank slate, so it almost qualifies as a work of art as well as a space-saving communications device. But you'd think for $80, at least they would have included an eraser.

<![CDATA[Philips In Touch Message Board Concept]]> Leaving a note on the fridge is so 2004. Philips' In Touch message board concept makes family communications cold and impersonal, the way they were meant to be.

Each family member is represented on this huge LCD/mirror by a thumbnail. When you need to leave a message to your wife—please have dinner ready by the time I get home tonight, you ungrateful shrew—just touch her face and record a message. If you're not a fan of speaking to her even through a machine, you can use the stylus to write your message as well.

The In Touch will send your message to her cellphone via SMS or MMS, depending on what kind you left. That way there's no excuse for her not to have dinner ready.
