			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Your micro-blogging on Twitter or FriendFeed is topical.</p>
<p>Your blog is quality.</p>
<p>Both are valuable. How can you combine the two?</p>
<p>1. Display your FriendFeed content on your blog using an <a href="http://friendfeed.com/embed">embeddable widget</a>:</p>
<p align="center"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://friendfeed.com/embed/widget/hitching?v=2&amp;num=2&amp;hide_comments_likes=1&amp;hide_subscribe=1"></script><noscript><a href="http://friendfeed.com/hitching"><img alt="View my FriendFeed" style="border:0;" src="http://friendfeed.com/embed/widget/hitching?v=2&amp;num=1&amp;hide_comments_likes=1&amp;hide_subscribe=1&amp;format=png"/></a></noscript></p>
<p>2. Display your latest Twitter updates on your blog with a <a href="http://twitter.com/widgets">customized widget</a>:</p>
<div id="twtr-profile-widget"></div>
<p><script src="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/1/widget.js"></script>
<link href="http://widgets.twimg.com/j/1/widget.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet"><script>
new TWTR.Widget({
  profile: true,
  id: 'twtr-profile-widget',
  loop: true,
  width: 250,
  height: 300,
  theme: {
    shell: {
      background: '#3082af',
      color: '#ffffff'
    },
    tweets: {
      background: '#ffffff',
      color: '#444444',
      links: '#1985b5'
    }
  }
}).render().setProfile('hitching').start();
</script>
<p>3. Combine the display of RSS feeds from <a href="http://friendfeed.com/	leolaporte?format=atom">FriendFeed</a> and <a href="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/20.rss">Twitter</a> and elsewhere using an RSS plugin on your <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/rss">WordPress</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/apis/gadgets/">Blogger</a>, <a href="http://plugins.movabletype.org/">Moveable Type</a> or <a href="http://www.sixapart.com/typepad/widgets/">TypePad</a> blog.</p>
<p>4. Install <a href="http://hitching.net/fresh-from-friendfeed-and-twitter/">Fresh From FriendFeed and Twitter</a> &#8211; a WordPress plugin that keeps your blog always fresh by regularly adding your best recent content from FriendFeed or Twitter. Unlike the above solutions that only display content, Fresh From allows your visitors to search your micro-blogging content, and allows you to easily edit, tag and turn it into regular blog posts. Disclosure: I wrote this plugin, it got me thinking about this post.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://hitching.net/fresh-from-friendfeed-and-twitter/"><img src="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/fresh-from-friendfeed-and-twitter/screenshot-1.png" width="200" /></a></p>
<p>5. Going the other way, FriendFeed makes it easy to import your blog&#8217;s <a href="http://mashable.com/feed/">RSS feed</a> into <a href="http://friendfeed.com/mashable?service=blog">FriendFeed</a>.</p>
<p>6. Make sure your blog&#8217;s feed is using <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Media_RSS">Media RSS</a> extensions if you can, so FriendFeed picks up any media attachments. There are a couple of WordPress <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=mrss">plugins</a> available that achieve this.</p>
<p>7. You can import your blog&#8217;s RSS feed into Twitter using services such as <a href="http://twitterfeed.com/">twitterfeed</a> and <a href="http://rsstotwitter.com/">RSS To Twitter</a>:</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://rsstotwitter.com/"><img src="http://rsstotwitter.com/images/logo.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>8. Alex King&#8217;s <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-tools/">Twitter Tools</a> is a WordPress plugin that creates a tweet on Twitter whenever you post in your blog, with a link to the blog post. It can also create a daily or weekly digest post of your tweets on your blog.</p>
<p>9. Glenn Slaven&#8217;s <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/friendfeed-comments/">FriendFeed Comments</a> WordPress plugin will take the comments &#038; &#8216;likes&#8217; on your posts from FriendFeed and place them on the post that they&#8217;re related to on your blog.</p>
<p>10. If you are using the <a href="http://disqus.com/">Disqus</a> comment system on your WordPress, Blogger, Moveable Type or TypePad blog, comments can now be synchronised between your blog and FriendFeed.</p>
<p align="center"><a href="http://disqus.com/"><img src="http://hitching.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/disqus.png" width="150" /></a></p>
<p>What have I missed out? Comments please!</p>
