New Commenting Features Push FriendFeed Into Twitter Territory
FriendFeed, a site that gathers up all your activity from around the web and displays it in one spot, is starting to provide ways to push content back to the larger web, in this case Twitter. FriendFeed recently announced a new feature which will allow you to simultaneously post your FriendFeed comments to Twitter.
The new features allow you to send any FriendFeed comments to Twitter in a single step. All you need to do is check a box at the bottom of the FriendFeed form and your comment will also be sent as a @reply post to Twitter.
It’s a simple but powerful feature, combining some of the best features of both services in a single interface.
Increasingly our online conversations are happening not, as they used to, in blog comments and other site-specific forums, but in larger arenas like Twitter or FriendFeed and its myriad of competitors.
However that creates a problem — what if you want to comment on something you see in FriendFeed, but also make sure that your Twitter followers see it as well? That’s exactly what the new features allow you to do.
Also worth noting, for those that want some additional tools for FriendFeed, is Dawn Foster’s Yahoo Pipe for FriendFeed comments. Foster’s FriendFeed Comment Finder Pipe creates an RSS feed of all the comments people have posted on your FriendFeed items. Just plug that into your feed reader and you’ve got yet another way to keep track of conversations.
