As mentioned eariler in the comments, monetizing the content using Google / Yahoo contextual text ads 2. In the longer term, if the service is really worth, go the subscription route for users (eg., TypePad vs Blogger). Free services at some point in time would start stuttering, that's when paid services start making sense I would strip down all potential business models into 2 buckets :

And thanks for the comment, Amy -- those are good points. I can see the potential for the kind of thing you're talking about, where companies could use CoComments to track what is being said about them, which is what Eric is talking about too.
