Today we have a special treat for those of you who are quick to act: closed beta testing for comment reply by email. Check out this video to see how it works, and to hear about another upcoming goody:
Comment reply by email makes replying to comments super-easy. Just enable e-mail notifications for comments as you normally would under Settings > Discussion.
Then, instead of clicking back to your dashboard, you can reply to the comment straight from e-mail. When you click reply, a special WordPress e-mail address will appear in the Sender line, matching your reply to the proper comment thread. Send it off, and your reply is up on your blog in seconds.
But you can’t check it out unless you’re part of the closed beta, so be sure to sign up if you want to check it out!
To sign up, leave a comment on this post. Signups are per blog — not per user — so make sure that your profile contains a link to the blog you’d like to test it out on. Check out these instructions on how to link your name to your blog.
Signups for the closed beta will close at 6 p.m. PST (UTC-8) tomorrow, Friday, October 24.
UPDATE 10/24: Comments are now CLOSED. To those who responded: Enjoy the beta!

I am SO in.
any way to do it for both of my blogs??
Sign me up. http://lucidlunacy.wordpress.com
You can add me into the mix if you need more input, more data. However, we might foolishly assume there would actually be comments or replies involved, and in this case, that is fairly unlikely now, even more than before. But then again, being “the joiner” has never been “my bag” at all, so if the ship left without me, it can have the bag, which is already quite old as it turns out. 🙂

Wait a second. It is 5:52 p.m. EST (UTC-5). My last comment was timestamped 9:44 UTC, and Joseph Scott included everyone before 6:05 UTC but I am still three hours before 6 p.m. PST (UTC-8). Will I still get in?

Dear WordPress, please join me for Beta test
Aww, am I too late to get in on this action? Address: docmayhem.wordpress.com

Count me in. Though I’d really prefer if my commenters could be notified of followup comments, but hey, who’s going to read this here anyway? And if someone replies, I won’t read it either. Ah well…
