Trying Google Reader?.. Share your friendfeed feed WITHIN Reader. (groups work too)!!
Use the FF Tools Embed > Feed Widget http://friendfeed.com/embed (Image version) and paste the HTML into Reader using the "Your Stuff" > "Shared Items" -> "Have some thoughts to share?" textbox. Let them know where you came from!! Check out http://www.google.com/reader... to see the results (I used the Note on Reader bookmarklet on my FF homepage and THEN added the HTML). - Chris Myles
Interesting idea. I have a 'lifestream' bundle and share some of my posts that way. Unfortunately you have to delete them once FF imports them back, but not too much of a pain. - Kol Tregaskes
Chris, what embeds would you share from there? I imagine sharing individual entries would be good but not sure what could be shared from the embed page? - Kol Tregaskes
Kol.. It's more of a hack to show people where you came from, and gives you (and those you share with) a quick place to check your FF updates within reader. Since the image auto-updates, it's perfect!! - Chris Myles
GROUPS: You can also embed groups but not directly. Just change your username to the group name.. width is a cool option as well!! http://friendfeed.com/embed.... - Chris Myles
BTW: this is ONE of the MANY reasons I think FriendFeed kicks ass.. Most products aren't even thinking about embedded versions of their content, let alone dynamic images for sites that don't support iframes (or when javascript is disabled). It just adds to the flexibility and power of the platform.. (Facebook.. hint hint)!! - Chris Myles
Just tried this in GR and it works. Thank you Chris. - Polly Potter
No worries Polly. I saw yours in Reader.. You might want to make it wider to get more goodies in the same height. I set my width to 600!! BTW Where are you getting feedback from the Reader team? I've got a some stuff logged into their help site.. haven't heard a peep from anyone (some stuff has been sitting there since last November). http://friendfeed.com/akiva... - Chris Myles
Fixed FF widget in GR to 600 as you suggested and it looks a lot better. Thank you. - Polly Potter
Chris, if you are referring to the comments of Jenna Bilotta that I shared in GR, I found them in FF and parked them in GR for ease of finding again. - Polly Potter
Ok thanks Polly, glad to know the width looks better, I'd have a look but I can't .. http://ff.im/7JFoG - Chris Myles
