Commenting 2.0 service Disqus has announced support for FriendFeed, allowing users to natively import FriendFeed comments into Disqus.
The integration between the two popular services has been the top of many users’ list for over a year, and while WordPress plugins, and more lately a hosted service promised some levels of integration, you can’t beat native support.
To set up Disqus to import FriendFeed comments, users need to go into account/ services and enter their FriendFeed name and key. Following that, it’s as simple as ticking a box in admin/ settings.
One of the core reasons I’ve flirted with rival commenting 2.0 service IntenseDebate was FriendFeed support; IntenseDebate offered it without the hassle, perfect for our funny pics blog Inquisitr.com/extra. With FriendFeed support in Disqus, I’m likely to switch back, although there’s still one last request: native WordPress handling of comments

Awesome. Thanks for the article. I have Disqus as my comment system on my site and it's both flexible and mature. I've enabled FriendFeed integration but am waiting to see how to harness all this interchangeable information… I'm both excited and overwhelmed…

Excellent news! I'll set that up right away!

Nice work Disqus! They keep improving looking forward to future updates.

Having seen how well it works here, I just signed up for Disqus yesterday. I am very happy with it so far.

With all of the options in SM, it becomes really overwhelming (read: time-consuming) to manage all of them. A smart set of options to integrate like Disqus did is key. Thank you!

Why didn't you include a link to the Disqus blog post with steps for setting it up?

I keep flirting with moving my blog's comments over to Disqus or IntenseDebate, but there's one core thing that causes me to abandon the idea: the fact that for seemingly any blog other than WordPress, there's no way to include the comments in a way that they're indexable in search engines. I get a bunch of (interested/interesting) traffic to my blog currently from my indexed comments, and I'd really hate to give that up

Disqus, in my opinion is the future of commenting. It simplifies that work of the webmaster and makes everything much much simpler.

I am leaning towards Disqus more and more but am a little bit aprehensive of losing my exsisting comments. I have heard throuth the blogosphere that there has been some horror stories from disgruntled bloggers who have lost all their comments. I realise that there is an option to import WordPress comments into Disqus but as with all things it dosen't allways work!

There are still a few quirks from what I have read on other user blogs but 80% of the ones who integrated this in their blogs seem very happy………………………………………
