[...] 4 Things I Hope the FriendFeed API Enables :: Charles Hudson – I am a big believer in that a public API from FriendFeed will be very important. Charles appears to think the same but has an idea of some of what he would like to see in that API [...]

I really like the idea that of taking friendfeed stuff and sending it to my blog.

Kevin,

Thanks for the comment. At the end of the day, I’m happy to have the best conversations about content I publish happen on FriendFeed – I don’t need to own them on my blog. but i would like to be able to tell people “hey, go to FriendFeed and talk with other people who find this interesting” or to be able to show readers that there is an active discussion about a particular topic happening somewhere else if they’d like to join in the fray. i think that’s good for me as a publisher and good for FriendFeed, no? Even a “this post has been liked x times and generated y comments on FriendFeed – go hear to see more” would be great.

So I’ll be contentious: Yes, the ability to pull comments from the blog into friendfeed is interesting, but no more interesting than pulling on the content of the post itself. And yes, pushing FF comments made by people who subscribe to you on to your blog’s page is interesting, but not all those comments made on FF shares when someone else shared, delicioused, tumblred or otherwise brought your blog post into friendfeed. There could be a dozen or a hundred conversations in FF that arise out of a single blog post, but those conversations are socially scoped around the person who brought it to FF. These may be conversations *about your content* but not conversations *for, with, or to you* or your greater audience. Thoughts?

Yes yes yes! Comments! The first social aggregator that integrates blog comments will win my vote, and might win the world, too. Add comments to FriendFeed and it’s a game changer instead of “a feature” as someone said…

Of course, I gotta go post this as a comment on FriendFeed too so someone will read it! Hahaha
