Bringing Friendfeed Comments Home To Your Blog

As Friendfeed starts to get better and better, and people start to contribute more to the site, users will increasingly want to find ways to export that valuable data back to their own blogs. After all, if you’re the webmaster of your own blog, your obvious first priority is to drive that traffic back to your own site. More traffic equals more pageviews and more pageviews equals more Adsense clicks and more RSS subscribers. So it makes sense that you would want that bustling Friendfeed activity to be moved over to your own domain.

Luckily a couple of Friendfeed users have been hard at work dealing with that very issue and if you have a blog hosted on either Blogger or Wordpress, then you are in luck. The Blogger method is much easier as it is just a simple copy and paste. The Wordpress method has a bit more to it. But nevertheless, both methods have so far been receiving glowing reviews and I will shortly be installing the Wordpress version on my own blog to capture some of that Friendfeed magic for myself.
