reddit username?

lazyant, duh... reddit timed out on your initial request. Tried it again, and it worked. Maybe I can find a way to use their so-called "secret api"...

I found this: http://www.programmableweb.com/api/reddit

But can't find anything about getting user info. Anyone here know?

Hi,

Thanks for looking into this and good guess on the username ;-). It's still showing '0' though, in case that helps.

Refresh--the JS is probably cached (set for a day). I see 210 in the DB.

Makes me think... maybe its time BackType came up with a widget... yes? Might save you the trouble. www.backtype.com Of course it won't help with your predicament, but it will be easier in case you do decide to display your HN comments.

Hey Raju, we do have widgets :) and you can definitely use it to display HN comments (although not karma): http://www.backtype.com/widgets

Woops! Sorry. My bad. Should have looked harder before commenting. My apologies.

Why mixed feelings?

Many of my comments don't make sense without knowledge of the parent article/comment.

Maybe link to links like: http://hystry.com/newsyc/follow/?http://news.ycombinator.com...

If that doesn't work for you I'd love to hear why.

No worries, they're a bit hard to find.

Backtype is nice but it would require me to replace my profile url with one of theirs. It's really geared towards people that don't have a website of their own.

You don't have to replace your profile url with ours, we only suggest that for people that don't have a website. You could claim your comments: http://www.backtype.com/url/news.ycombinator.com%252fuser%3F... and add them to your account and create a widget no problem.

Can widgets pull in the actual comments? The widget I'm looking at only has a link to the parent article. I'd actually like both.

Noted. Thought about both, but didn't see an easy way to integrate, so put off. Anyone know of any easy way? Feedburner seems only to serve images of the #, and FB seems to require auth.
