Those of you who have not done so better install FriendFeed Comments. The plugin pulls in comments and likes from a blog post on FriendFeed. Here is an example of the plugin in action

Looks great. If only the wordpress.com guys would enable it.

I had doubts whether to comment on your other blog post on FF or blog, now it's clear ;)

I am waiting for Disqus to integrate the FF commenting system and then I am all set

Showing each and every individual name who liked the post on different line is not a good idea.. (Imagine you having 154 people who liked the post!)

In theory there is a minimized mode, but it's not working right now, and for the number of comments I get, it's somewhat safe. There aren't 154 people who'd comment on posts about bioinformatics here on FF:), not yet anyway. That would be a good problem to have though

My Firefox still does not like your webpage.

This is nothing short of Brilliant. Anyone want to start a petition to get WP to enable it?

Awesome. :)

It's fairly simple to install, if you're running a self-hosted version, so I don't see why the hosted WP shouldn't have it available.

I installed it, but considering uninstalling it as very few of my blog feed entries on FriendFeed get comments - despite being worded as questions that should evoke answers in either location. Meh. Until FriendFeed has half the pull of Twitter... meh.

FriendFeed comments is going to be a game changer. Hell, it could challenge Disqus.

I was actually thinking about that. I get more comments here, so the FF plugin could easily replace disqus. In an ideal world, the FF comments will just integrate with the Disqus comment stream

The only issues with FF Comments is the delay and the lack of critical mass. both will probably change later on, though. Imagine a world where all blog comments came and went through FriendFeed.

It'll get there, FF is still relatively unknown, but it is gaining in popularity. Don't give up on it to soon Chris.
