ffcheck Bookmarklet

The ffcheck bookmarklet gives you a quick way to find out if there are any existing items on FriendFeed related to the web page you're viewing. Simply drag the bookmarklet onto your bookmarks toolbar, then whenever you click the link a list of FriendFeed items will be overlaid onto the page you're viewing. For a demo, just click the "ffcheck" link. You should see a list of all the items related to this page. [Note that as of 3/19 all the existing FriendFeed items point to http://www.kshep.net/ffcheck]

ffcheck

The bookmarklet executes the JavaScript found at http://ffcheck.com/javascript, which in turn passes the URL of the page you're viewing to the FriendFeed API (http://friendfeed.com/api/feed/url). It parses the JSON returned by the API, populates a list, and adds a <div> containing that list to the current document. As of 3/18/2009 the bookmarklet is only 12hrs old and has only been tested on Firefox 3.0.7, Chrome 2.0.169.1, and the Safari 4 Public Beta 528.16 (all on Windows XP).
