Do you try to pull in all the comments or go where they are?

More and more discussion about FriendFeed of late, and again the subject of the comments left on FriendFeed becoming disconnected from the posts themselves rears its head.

Startup Mentality linked to my post yesterday about FriendFeed becoming my interaction portal, taking the stance of keeping things on your blog:

There should be no reason why you have to monitor everything to see what people think about what you said — just have it fed back into your blog. Your blog is the center of your universe.

To steal a late 90’s term, your blog should be your portal. You start with it everyday and you don’t need to leave it to keep up with your friends and your conversations. Your blog is all about you. Keep it all together.—Startup Mentality » It’s the blog, stupid!

It’s a fair complaint I think.  However I’ve noticed that there are far more comments on my posts on FriendFeed than on the post themselves.  I think it’s easier to interact and share on FriendFeed than it is on a blog.  Everything is there and you really get to see the breadth of hte conversations.

I read yesterday (and I don’t remember who said it) that a WP plugin to integrate FriendFeed comments would help this.  I think integrating FF comments into the post’s comment stream is a great idea.  Maybe the bulk of the interaction will still be on FriendFeed, but blog readers will get the benefit of seeing a more complete discussion.

Now I need to go back to FriendFeed and see what I missed in the last little while…
