Here is a sample idea similar to co.mments.com or cocoment.com but above all which aims to makes the blogosphere more “Democratic”.
Imagine a service where anyone will be able to freely comment any post without the risk of any possible moderation/delete/disregard arbitrary cleaver.
RSS Republic is an aggregator of conversations made for all commenters and driven by all commenters.
With RSS Republic any commenter can select any specific post in using a bookmarklet for example exactly as with co.mments.com or cocomment.com.
The selected post and published comments on the author’s blog will be available on RSS Republic exactly like co.mments.com does on its site.
From that time anyone will be free to leave a comment within the confines of RSS Republic on the specific post.
All comments (including thoses from the author’s blog) will be organized exactly as on any real FREE blog. Only spam and criminal words will be banished !
Not only RSS Republic will send over comment moderation and delete barbarian practice but it will even be possible to comment any post which usually cannot be commented at all like for example http://blog.searchenginewatch.com/blog/ .

Sounds like my GoJot.com provides at least one thing you mentioned. You can use it to add comments to any web page.

Hoodwink already does this in great style, offering very nicely customizable RSS feeds of comments to posts on which a specific person (typically yourself) have participated in conversation, optionally excluding their own comments, and just as customizable comment injection / blog integration looks.
Once set up with the system, a search (at Onslaught) for comments for "~who:ecmanaut -who:ecmanaut" yields the feed I am subscribed to to track my own web conversations with other winkers, for instance.
