Feed reader comments is definitely an interesting idea, but I am not sure how that would work overall except for gathering the notes. Due to the rise of the iPhone, BlackBerry Storm, Android G1 and the soon to be Palm Pre, I think the mobile versions will not be too "lite" as they can generally render normal web pages or something very close. Alif,

I often check out FriendFeed to know about updates from many sources, and if I can commenting on FriendFeed that automatically appended to source, it would be a great. And reading blog post on FriendFeed also helps. I currently still looking for commenting using Google Reader, since I often reads blog post using it. I do this because internet connection here too slow to open blog and its widgets. So I have to open smaller version, both using mobile version or via feed reader. It's about portability and usability. Comments synchronization is a good thing.

They could have two very different groups of subscribers. Also, thanks for the comment love, even though I try to follow the conversations on friendfeed as well. Ontario,

Your point about separate conversations is an important one, since the same item could launch different conversations depending upon how it is shared, and who it sharing it. The "who" is important - have Louis Gray and Loren Feldman post the same item to FriendFeed, and I can guarantee you that two different conversations will spring up. I acutally found this post via FriendFeed, but chose to click through to the post to comment. FriendFeed makes commenting so easy that posts sometimes get little comment love.

Merging conversations is awkward at best, especially if it is a scheduled poll. If we get to "real-time" distribution with something like FriendFeed's SUP, then it may be more realistic as there would not be any real differences in the conversation on either side. Chris,

FriendFeed has been highly disruptive to the value created by publishers and comments and this sort of re-aggregation of distributed social gestures back to the source blog is the future.
