Bring FriendFeed Comments Into Your Blog

FriendFeed has been steadily growing in popularity, and has been given the blessing of the A-List, but in all the support and cheerleading there has always been one problem.

One of the big complaints about FriendFeed is that it pulls conversation away from your site into their venue.

If you want to grow a community then first of all you want the community to exist on your own site, so it can not be held to ransom. Secondly you need to engage that community with conversation. If you can’t see that people have commented then you can’t reply to keep the conversation going, or worse you upset the commenter who then thinks you are ignoring them.

For these reasons many people have avoided fully jumping into the FriendFeed pond, but worry no longer, an excellent FriendFeed Commentgs plugin has arrived.

What it does is pulls any comments or “likes” you gain in FriendFeed and publishes them onto your blog.

There are various options to configure and a tag to place in your theme so it knows where you want to display the comments, but essentially once the plugin knows your FriendFeed nickname the rest is pretty cosmetic.
