Well, FriendFeed released their API yesterday, along with pre-written php & python libraries.  It’s a really good API, got access to all the data you see on the site.  So I’ve written up a WordPress plugin that will pull back comments from FriendFeed & show them on your site.  This plugin will allow you to display on your own site the comments that people make on FriendFeed about your post. 

I keep trying to think of a more succinct way of writing that but I can’t.  I always sounds more confusing than it is. See the plugin page for more details, this is an early beta I can’t stress that enough.  It will have bugs, it may very well break. 

Anyone who is willing to help beta test would be very welcome, you can download the zip file here. Unzip that into your plugins folder & activate it.  You’ll then need to go into the options (or settings if you’re running WP2.5) and click on FriendFeed.  Put your FriendFeed nickname in & save.  You’ll then need to drop the new template tag <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?> on to your single post template somewhere inside ‘the loop’.  I put mine just above the <?php comments_template(); ?> call.

Much thanks to Corvida for being my first guinea pig tester.  It seems to be working on her site, and she gets a lot of comments!
