FriendFeed Comments on Laughing Squid
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).

Thought I'd mention Pat Hawks' rework of Glenn's plugin that works with Blogger, Tumblr & FeedFlare: http://www.pathawks.com/2008/06/friendfeed-comment-widget.html

Nice! I just implemented this on tinyscreenfuls.com. Very slick!
-
Wow, very slick! Well done.
-
Neat!
-
Yes well done, I think we will see that on a lot of blogs in the near future.
-
This is very slick. Love the WP integration.
-
the revolution will be integrated.
-
Very nice!
-
I agreee Eddie, especially if the integration is revolutionized
-
Thanks Scott. By the way, the plugin refreshes every hour or if someone posts a FrienfFeed comment from your site. I was trying to be a good API consumer by not killing their server, but now that some more heavily commented sites are using the plugin I'm thinking of making it 1/2 an hour

Glenn, thanks for solving that mystery, at first I though it was my WP Super Cache plugin
-
Wow.
-
Very cool indeed.
