FeedFlare, Part II
As promised, we're back with the second installment of FeedFlare. For those of you who may have drifted off during our last post on the topic, FeedFlare launched with a number of features specifically designed to enhance your feed. Today, we are expanding FeedFlare's capabilities beyond the feed to include visibility on your blog or Web site. To illustrate, we've activated FeedFlare on this blog, John Z's blog and Eric's blog. Mmmm. Flare...
The newly enhanced FeedFlare service is live now and accessible through the "Optimize" tab. Our thoughtful designers have even created step-by-step Quickstarts for adding FeedFlare to your Blogger, Wordpress, Movable Type, or Typepad blog. But if you run into any snags or your flare just won't spark, drop into our Support Forums for help, assistance, alms, and more. You can also get the basics from our short FAQ.
Coming very soon: The third installment of FeedFlare, the highly anticipated launch of our completely open API which will greatly increase the number of ways in which you can enhance your feed and site. Give your subscribers more options to tag, share, and interact with your content, wherever it goes. We will launch the API with a list of 101 flare ideas, some of which we've already started building ourselves. Fandango your ticket now.

Great!
I really liked what feedflare added to my RSS and wished that I could have it on my site as well.
So I just added this new addition over to my site: Redune.com
It would be great to have support for Simpy be available out of the box. Not everyone is a del.icio.us fan.
I M FeedFlare HELP !
It would be great if the count comments were to be extended to include Blogger and word press. Also, I think Feed Burner should make it possible to add links to other services such as the ones you can feature on your feed.
Count comments does work for Wordpress, in fact, that's the service it should work for most easily, without any added effort on your part because of WP's use of the WFW comments extensions in the source feed. We are going to make this a completely open service with a fully documented api so that you can include any sort of third party service you want in FeedFlare.
Does the comments function open one up to spam crawlers? What are the safeguards? I didn't see a script requirement before posting.
FeedFlare's are sick. God bless your innovativeness!!!
Best,

Is it possible to display the number of people who have bookmarked it on del.icio.us.
plus add to digg/number of diggs will be cool as well
