Over the past few weeks I’ve written a little share on FriendFeed web service and accompanying piece of JavaScript that will allow publishers such as blogger or news sources to add a FriendFeed button to their website so that they can share information that they’ve found with those subscribing to their FriendFeed. The button acts in much the same was as other social bookmark widgets such as the “Digg This” button or the sharing facility offered by “Share This“.

Share on FriendFeed

As a reader there is already a way of sharing things you find of interest onto your Friendfeed. This can be done with the FriendFeed bookmarklet. However, the current option requires the user to install the bookmarklet into their browser and the publisher can’t do anything to encourage the user to share this information onto FriendFeed. The solution I have written only requires the publisher to add a few script includes to their site, a css style include and add links to prompt the user to share on FriendFeed.

I’ve accepted a job down in London so will be selling my lovely flat in Edinburgh. It’s a loft apartment really near to all the bars, resteraunts and cafes. I love The Shore so am disappointed to be moving but I’m sure I’ll be back on my holidays.

Anyway, you can see all the details about my apartment for sale by following the link below:

The old blog is still over @ http://www.phobos7.co.uk but I’ve decided to start a new one here on my wonderful new domain. I’ve been after a Leggetter domain for ages but Andrew managed to snap them all up way before I even thought about registering one.
