Site converted to django-friendly: FriendFeed integration

I posted about it on Twitter this afternoon, but I finally succumbed to the FriendFeed trend and I'm going to let them do the hard work of aggregating my life stream and normalizing it. Honestly, I don't need to fight the never-ending battle of scraping and parsing a billion feeds when a company flush with cash and smart people can do it for me, right? :) What's great is that they provide a fabulous API and so I took some time yesterday to build a Django application I call django-friendly that you can pop into your site to integrate everything ...

Google Reader Team: Let me add a short comment with my shared items

Dear Google Reader team, I love sharing items with my friends on Google Reader, it's one of the best parts of the site. However, I would really like to send along a short message with my shared items. Currently, I'm using Facebook Shared Items to compliment my Google Reader shared items, mostly because I can personalize the message and give my shared item some context. If Google Reader supported something like this, even a Twitter-esque 140 character limit to the comment, I could ditch my Facebook crutch for this sort of thing. That's all, thanks! Clint
