			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What constitutes real integration and what is just silly?  Integration to provide additional functionality is great.  But my question is that really being done.  The following are 3 examples using 3 different methods of so called integration all using iframes.</p>
<table border="0">
<tbody>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.fpettit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/ReadburnerGoogleReaderIframe.png" rel="lightbox[92]"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px; float: left;" src="http://www.fpettit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/ReadburnerGoogleReaderIframe.png" alt="" width="240" height="189" /></a></td>
<td valign="top">Readburner recently released an update that combines <a class="zem_slink" title="Google Reader" rel="homepage" href="http://www.google.com/reader" target="_blank">Google Reader</a> into the ReadBurner site.   It is being called Google Reader integration.  It is actually no more than a tab with an iframe for the google reader site.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.fpettit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/FriendFeedTechMemeIFrame.png" rel="lightbox[92]"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none ; margin: 5px; float: left;" src="http://www.fpettit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/FriendFeedTechMemeIFrame.png" alt="" width="239" height="172" /></a></td>
<td valign="top">As I said <a href="http://www.fpettit.com/index.php/2008/05/01/friendfeed-apps/">before</a> I am using FFapps.com to expand the FriendFeed functionality.  One of the <a class="zem_slink" title="Greasemonkey" rel="homepage" href="http://www.greasespot.net/" target="_blank">Greasemonkey</a> scripts they have released is called FF Tabs.  It adds a tab to FriendFeed called Techmeme and when clicked on simply embeds Techmeme into FriendFeed as an <a class="zem_slink" title="IFrame" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IFrame" target="_blank">IFrame</a>.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td><a href="http://www.fpettit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/FriendFeedGoogleReaderIFrame.png" rel="lightbox[92]"><img class="alignleft" style="border: 0pt none; margin: 5px; float: left;" src="http://www.fpettit.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/05/FriendFeedGoogleReaderIFrame.png" alt="" width="239" height="172" /></a></td>
<td valign="top">The third is a <a class="zem_slink" title="Bookmarklet" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bookmarklet" target="_blank">bookmarklet</a> I read about <a href="http://www.louisgray.com/live/2008/05/unapproved-merger-of-friendfeed-and.html">today</a> on <a href="http://www.louisgray.com/live">Louis Gray&#8217;s blog</a> that combines Google Reader into friendfeed via simple bookmarklet.  When FriendFeed is open you click the bookmarklet and Google Reader is pulled in.</td>

</tbody>
</table>
<p>Readburner coded this iframe as functionality into their site, the second is a user created Greasemonkey script, and the third example is a user generated bookmarklet all created to add functionality via IFrame.</p>
<p>We all use tabbed browsers correct?  What are we really gaining?  I always have multiple tabs opens that include Google Reader and FriendFeed.  Are these IFrames true functionality?  I would say NO.  They are nice but not really that helpful.</p>
<p>I am all for true innovation and integration this just is not it.</p>
