I put GFC in my sidebar and Intense Debate below my individual posts but I kind of like the way you have it set up here. I do wish that the Ratings Widget would more fully collapse when that option is turned on and I too would like to have the option to turn off the comment box in it.

I used friend connect for a while, but went back to intense debate shortly after. It just doesn't offer the same amount of features. Nice article.

There doesn't seem to be an API for Friend Connect and the <a href="http://friendconnect.js" target="_blank">friendconnect.js</a> file is obfuscated/compressed JavaScript. The ratings gadget is invoked by a method within the friendconnect.js file, rather than loading from a separate XML file that contains the gadget (as iGoogle gadgets do). They do have a sample OpenSocial gadget and you can see <a href="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/gadgets/sample.xml" target="_blank">the XML file</a> used to render it. Unfortunately, at the moment I'm too lazy to build a gadget from scratch. It doesn't seem like it's gonna happen any time soon since I can't reverse engineer it.

I'm gonna have to set this up on my site too. The only thing with the ratings deal is that it introduces redundancy with the comments. (Just scroll up and look for the exact same comment I posted above. :-D) Very nice. I'm gonna have to set this up on my site too.
