Congrats on rolling out this feature, Daniel! It looks great thus far and the only thing I'd like to add would be rolling the FF comments count into the overall total for each blog post. On this page for instance we can see “VIEWING 10 COMMENTS” (well, 11 after this one) but the three or so FF comments aren't rolled up into the total.

Since readers are more likely to click through on a post with some ongoing conversation a blogger is naturally going to want to be able to trumpet each and every comment they can claim.

It does look like it will sync both ways inside the FriendFeed section of the Disqus comments area. If you are logged in to Disqus and have FriendFeed registered with your API key on your profile, you will see a comment input field down there.

Yes, Disqus enabled SUP pretty early on, it makes comments appear almost instantaneously in FriendFeed, which IMO is very cool.

Thank you Phil, I missed their Tweet. I've noticed that Disqus comments show up of FF very fast even before this syncing.

In theory, it will partially replicate what Glenn's “FriendFeed Comments” plugin does, except I don't believe “likes” are displayed. Plus it looks like it may only aggregate on the blog side, similar to what FFtoDisqus does.

Does this eliminate the need for Glenn Slaven's plugin?

Thanks for the update Phil!

I may have made a hasty assumption. The Disqus blog says “pull/post”.. not “push/pull.” So, I would have to defer the answer to Daniel, or wait until it is answered on the Disqus blog.

Wait, are they saying that they're going to sync both ways?? I'm not sure how that would work (coming from first-hand experience). I'll be curious to see!

Ok, FF discussion for this post here. Let's see if the magic of 2-way-sync works.
