FriendFeed Comments on Laughing Squid

FriendFeed Comments

Yesterday I installed the excellent FriendFeed Comments WordPress Plugin on this blog, which adds an expandable section just above the comments showing all the Likes and Comments from FriendFeed that are associated with a blog post.

Big thanks to Sydney developer Glenn Slaven, author of the plugin, who personally helped me through some CSS bugs that were causing problems with the plugin and our template. I love how collaborative software and web development have evolved in recent years. Glenn saw a comment from me on FriendFeed that I was having problems with the plugin and offered to help. Within a couple of hours, he resolved the issue and even wored the changes in to the next release of the plugin.

If you want to see how the FriendFeed Comments plugin works, just leave a comment about this post on FriendFeed and it will eventally show up below in the FriendFeed Comments section (I’m not sure if it’s the API, but it takes a little while before the comments show up).

I think this is a perfect circle for FriendFeed users and a great way for bloggers to see their comments from that arena.

FriendFeed comments + Disqus FTW

Moderation: All comments are manually approved, so if your comment is approved it may take a while for your comment to appear on this blog post.

Irrelevant, obnoxious, trolling, abusive and spam comments will not be approved. Let's keep things civil and on topic. Basically what we are saying, if your comment does not add to the conversation, it will not be approved.

Real Name & Website: For the most part do not post anonymous comments. Please list your real name and provide a link to your website, blog, Twitter account, etc. You know who we are, so we ask the same of you.

Corrections: If you want to point out a typo or correction, please email us instead. Typo or correction comments will not be approved since they are pretty much useless once they are corrected and then only tend to confuse things.
