There is now even a WordPress plugin, <a href=\"http:\/\/wordpress.org\/extend\/plugins\/friendfeed-comments\/\">FriendFeed Comments<\/a> that will help integrate your FriendFeed comments and more, with every post you make. This can be useful, as there are many times that people discuss a blog posting on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>Discuss is a broad word. Can you really say much in 140 characters? FriendFeed doesn&#8217;t have that limitation. And I&#8217;ve recently found out that I can make use of it in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.twhirl.org\/\">twhirl<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>So I&#8217;m cleaning up <a href=\"http:\/\/friendfeed.com\/byte\">my FriendFeed<\/a> to ensure there is no unnecessary duplication. This means dropping Jaiku and Tumblr from the list of sites I share&#8230; However, I&#8217;m adding some &#8220;value&#8221;, by adding my Google Reader <a href=\"http:\/\/www.google.com\/reader\/shared\/09158656504475450876\">Shared Items Page<\/a> (which I&#8217;m using more and more these days). So if FriendFeed proves useful, I might just use that wonderful WordPress plugin (nothing similar for Twitter from what I gather).<\/p>\n<p>From what I understand, at least FriendFeed doesn&#8217;t go down often ;)<\/p>\n<p>FWIW, it also seems that <a href=\"http:\/\/identi.ca\/\">identi.ca<\/a> works with twhirl so I&#8217;m on that now too (as in beyond just parking my account there). I&#8217;m <a href=\"http:\/\/identi.ca\/byte\">byte<\/a> there. And <a href=\"http:\/\/friendfeed.com\/byte\">byte<\/a> on FriendFeed.
