Just a question
ReadWriteWeb has integrated Friendfeed comments into its blog platform. The process came about via a simple Movable Type plug-in (and the site notes a similar plug-in also exists for WordPress). It’s free services, integrated into free media, using free plug-ins. Meanwhile, Disqus, Intense Debate, SezWho, CoComment, etc. are trying to build businesses around the same type of functionality. Most if not all are venture funded.
While FriendFeed has yet to unveil a business plan itself (and it’s venture-backed too), does the free on free on free the service and its extensions provide spell the end for the “business” of comment aggregation?
Does Friendfeed blog comment integration spell the end of niche competitors?
