IntenseDebate Re-Posts FriendFeed Conversation Back to The Originating Blog

With the increased popularity of sites like FriendFeed that aggregate content from across the web and then facilitate discussion around that content, there is growing concern voiced by bloggers that conversations initiated on blogs are being fragmented as they get distributed and republished.

IntenseDebate may have a solution. The blog commenting company has a new FriendFeed integration, FriendFeed Comment Retrieval, that according to IntenseDebate will re-post comments made on FriendFeed — that are in the context of one of your blog posts — back to your blog.

The service can be added to a blog in addition to other third party blog commenting services.

IntenseDebate admits this is the “first step and there is one immediate limitation - FriendFeed does not support threaded comments which prevents comments made in FriendFeed from being threaded on your blog. Also, comments made in FriendFeed that are posted in IntenseDebate are tied to your FriendFeed account instead of your IntenseDebate account.”

I’m trying this out on MEDIAdeluge. It will be interesting to see how it works.
