Mashup FriendFeed With Your Blog And Bring The Discussion Front And Center

I saw Andy Brudtkuhl’s post on friendfeed a few days ago where he pointed out how simple it is to embed friendfeed content into a more traditional blog post. (see below) The result, as many people pointed out, is a much richer experience that brings the discussion front and center. I like that Andy pointed out how to complement each piece of content too.

By crafting an introduction piece, you easily preface the rest of the story, perhaps the pictures or quotes you’re writing about. Conversely, you might also quickly surface the friendfeed embed at the beginning of your post to pull your audience in. The latter scenario is one of the reasons I really like friendfeed. When peppered with visuals, it aesthetically outflanks Twitter every time. When you take into account a seemingly no-limit cap on the length of comments, you’ve got everything you need to keep the real-time conversation flowing.
