DISQUS

Good call on the super-likers. I wonder if there's a way to normalize this data and lower the representation of super duper power users like Morton and Tyson? I certainly appreciate their attention but 1 like out of 100,000 doesn't have the same meaning as 1 like out of 1,000.

nice results like them

Very interesting service. It would be great if sites like TweetStat could also aggregate stats and content from FriendFeed to see if traffic and links are being clicked on through FriendFeed or from Twitter to FriendFeed or vice-versa. Oh the possibilities!

I need to be commenting on blogs more - it's too easy to comment on FriendFeed.

I'd love it if FF made it possible to add the comments there to specific blogs if the commenter chose to do so. I just published my comment below to Facebook w/one click.

Of course, this begs the question as to why FriendFeed removed the stats in the first place. But whether you get them from FriendFeed or FeedStats (here's mine), it's good to be able to get them again.

Louis,
I see another use for FeedStats: Finding specific people (such as bloggers I feel inspired to comment frequently to) on their most used social networks. That's where I would gain their attention if I had a specific purpose (or nefarious if so inclined) in contacting them on a personal level.
For example, say I was in the automotive industry in whatever capacity and wanted to work for Ford Motor Company because they refused bail out money and are succeeding in spite of the economic downturn (in debt, but growing anyway). IMHO that's a company I'd like to work for so my first step would be to find the names/IDs of their hiring managers (whatever they're called by), use FeedStats to determine where they're most active, befriend them (and I mean befriend, not just find and pitch), being honest and above board about my purposes. Not harassing, finding and connecting where possible.
Unfortunately I can already see a near future where the service would be abused by stalkers, whether personal or business oriented. Next in the works would be protection from such, I would hope.
