i like the design of your blog - Tyler Gillies

This comment is a first step, I'd say... Integrating this with Disqus would be awesome. - Yuvi

The true integration is almost like the holy grail. Everyone has an API, but how much integration do they want to allow. Do they really want that much traffic outside of their core service? Does that damage the business model? Or does the increased traffic add to the service's devoted followers? - Rob Diana

I think the other services would be wise to work with FriendFeed to integrate closer, there's enormous traffic potential. - Shey, Jamaican of FF

I'm currently working on Friendfeed integration in my spare time for Drupal 6. If there's a demand for it, I'll ramp up my work, and if anyone wants to work on a full-fledged package with me, I'm definitely interested. - Mark Trapp

Does anyone have a preference on Drupal versions? I don't have a preference, and am willing to adapt to either. - Mark Trapp

What kind of functionality are you looking for? The current Twitter module will publish posts to that service. You looking for sth like that? - Sam Charrington

I can't speak for Robert, but if i had to guess, we Drupalers are looking for the same functionality that Wordpress bloggers already have: the ability to display all the Friendfeed comments and likes inline with the blog entry. - Mark Trapp

I'm a frequenter of the Drupal site. Have not seen mentions of FriendFeed integration, but maybe you should suggest it on the forum. - James Mowery from twhirl

It would be better to take FastCompany.com off Drupal, which sucks, than beg for FF integration. - Francine Hardaway

Harsh Francine. I agree with the included comments functionality. Mark - contact me if you want any help with the project. - Chris Ridenour

drupal does kinda suck - Tyler Gillies from twhirl

Sucks is a feature - Christian Burns

@christian, sure it is. heh - Tyler Gillies from twhirl

Scoble's on the hunt... watch out folks...now he's a Drupal / FF integration Web App Dev Recruiter! LOL ;-) - Susan Beebe

demand! - ※Fu※

Chris, I'll let you know where I'm at tomorrow some time; way to tired to look at this any more. I have basic stream support in a block, and I'm debating on how to implement the comments trackback feature: haven't decided to simply hook into the node creation, or to provide the trackback as a CCK widget. Have you migrated to d6 yet? My code is primarily d6, but I have this sneaking suspicion fastcompany.tv is still on d5. That might be something to tackle. - Mark Trapp

Either way, friendfeed's api is dead simple. Takes more time to set up a module than it does to link everything into the api. - Mark Trapp

seems like we'll have to watch this video every day now... twitter, please, start working again! - Benedikt Koehler

we need an RSS border patrol for all social networks http://www.flickr.com/photos... - Noah David Simon

Wait! Twitter was back up? I keep missing it. - Ha3rvey (more more more)

Yes, Twitter was up for a bit, but I couldn't use it because it was too slow. - Morton Fox

This is getting past ridiculous; we wouldn't have sat still for such an appalling record of availability by another service. So, Dave, how about that distributed Twitter architecture you proposed, was there any interest to help set it up? - Asteris Masouras

Asteris -- yes there was interest, but generally the people with the products are scared of pissing Twitter off. This I don't understand -- I think the Twitter folk would welcome a bit of redundancy. Everything they've said publicly and done with the Twitter API indicates that they believe federation is in their future, but mostly the tech industry is scared. Where are the swashbucklers? Where's the adventure in venture capital? :-) - Dave Winer

What Dave Winer said! Rock on, adventurers - Randal Leeb-du Toit

I'll believe that Twitter Inc. hearts federation when I see them take definite steps in that direction. If Microsoft & Yahoo are anything to go by, corps that live & die by the mass adoption of their services are anything but cool with federating & open standards. Only their users can keep them on the straight & narrow, or provide scaffolding for alternatives. As to your quasi-rhetorical questions about the guts of the industry, I wonder too :-) - Asteris Masouras

F@#k it, we'll do it live! - Vince DeGeorge

brilliant vince! - Morgan from twhirl

This video never gets old. - Michelle Martinez

There hasn't been adventure in venture capital for twenty years. - Francine Hardaway

are there *still* no words there???! - Alex von Halem

I love that video, I mgiht make that my homepage - acedanger from twhirl
