Just implemented that on my own blog today, seems to work nicely.

As Thomas and J. Phil stated, Slaven made the incredible plug-in. Two things to note - It takes a little time for comments to appear and if you change the title of your post, you will need to manually link your FriendFeed comments to the blog post (it's really easy actually).

Hi Chris - Louis Gray wrote about this a couple of weeks ago, with instructions on the same mentioned here for WP, but also a method for blogger. I'm interested in one for Typepad if anyone finds one. Thanks!
Still stuck. I've got the plugin activated. I'm using my nickname. I've got the blog called out as "Blog," which is how the service is listed. on my singlepost.php, I've got it here(note: I used . so this will show up):
@Chris did you make sure to put the wp_ffcomments inside the post loop?

This is a paste of what's on mine. do you have all the elements (parens, etc)?
/* FF Comments */

Chris -- it most likely is correct. Keep in mind that the FF comments plugin won't appear unless it can find the relevant article in FriendFeed to attach to.
Try this: Edit a post that you know has some friendfeed comments on it, and scroll down below the post text. You should have a new field called "FriendFeed Comments Post".. make sure the correct article is listed in the pull-down men, or click "refresh list" to have it grab your blog entries from friendfeed.
If it isn't listing any blog entries, you will have to go to the plugin configuration page and make sure your friendfeed name and access code are typed in correctly.

Will that FriendFeed plugin work if your also using Disqus?

Hello Chris,
Maybe conversing via IM is a good idea. I know PHP.
AIM: You're cbrogandotcom, I use my emailaddress.
And I prefer Gtalk, if that's possible for you.
With kind regards, Niels Bom

balebond - yes. My blog is evidence of this. Chris - agreed with Niels, I'm not the plugin author, but if you like feel free to email me and I'll be happy to help you.

Ok, Chris, suggestion:
In your single page template, make sure there is a greater-than (>) before ?php on both lines:
Chris, I have been using this plugin for a while now. Glenn Slaven is the author and he was very helpful in assisting me with getting this setup on my blog (I was having issues with lightbox). You can find Glenn on Twitter @dalziel
I am happy to help you out if you are having issues.
Cheers, Jake

Thanks, guys. Yeah, so far, I've done what everyone's said. Now I just have to figure out why it's not working. I'll ping Glenn. : )

Hi Chris
There may be an issue with your site being at www.chrisbrogan.com and on FriendFeed it being listed as chrisbrogan.com (ie sans 'www'). Another person was having a problem like this. I think if you add the www to the url on friendfeed & then go into the settings of the plugin & click 'reset comments/likes' if *should* work.
If it doesn't tick the 'Display debug information' box and then click the reset button again. This will dump a whole lot of text to the screen. If you email that to me (gdalziel at gmail) I should be able to see what's going on
cheers Glenn
PS Thanks to everyone else here for the helpful suggestions, the community around FriendFeed never ceases to amaze me
Please let me know how this goes with fixing the problem
cheers

How cool is that? Glenn just drops by to help out! That's so damned cool. I wish ALL life was like this.
Thanks, Glenn. I'll go take a look-see.

It worked! It worked! Um.. Wait.. What if I want my blog's comments to show up first, and then FriendFeed? Where do I stick it for that?
Neato!

WooHoo! Great to see. To swap them around you just need to put the wp_ffcomments(); tag after the comments_template(); tag on your template

I love this example of how the online community can help one another! Fantastic. Wish there was a service that did this type of thing for all kinds of issues in real-time. Click keyword with a problem or to help others and jump into the stream. Nice.
What about us wordpress.com bloggers? Can we do something like this too? Tired of all the restrictions from this version of wordpress. Need to get a domain and host my blog myself. I know!

Yeah, cool indeed, although I think it helps that Chris is somewhat of an e-lebrity.
Check out http://www.crossloop.com/, looks like a great product for that although I haven't used it yet.

Is that right?
