## Description

The [Diffen](http://diffen.com) comparison plugin allows WordPress bloggers to easily
search for and embed a comparison on their blog.

You can compare anything on Diffen – baseball players, credit cards, computer processors,
religions, countries, companies…you get the idea. We wanted to share with WordPress
bloggers this ability to compare anything. And we wanted to do it seamlessly so 
you would not have to leave your editing interface inside WordPress to do this search.

So how does it work?
 The plugin adds a new button to your editing dashboard. Geniuses
that we are, we called it “Add a Comparison” because that is exactly what the plugin
helps you do. This button is right next to the Add Media button and functions in
a very similar fashion. Click on the button and an overlay pops up that allows you
to search for the comparison. Simply enter the two things you want to compare and
hit Enter.

If Diffen has the data you need (it usually does), you will see a nicely formatted
comparison chart for your search terms. One click and the chart will be added to
your blog post. WordPress does not allow iFrames (like YouTube embeds) to be viewed
inside the editor but rest assured it’s there. Preview your post and you will see
it. You might have to adjust the height attribute sometimes but for the most part,
it just works. Like magic. Happy comparing!

Under the covers:
 Technically-minded users may be interested in what happens behind
the scenes. The plugin searches Diffen and when it finds the comparison being requested,
embeds an iFrame into the blog post (just like a YouTube or Slideshare embed).

What if the search does not return anything?
 This is v0.1 for the Diffen comparison
plugin. We are working on expanding the feature set so that the service automatically
pulls in content from Wikipedia if it’s not available on Diffen. We will launch 
this soon and the best part is that you will NOT have to upgrade the plugin to benefit
from this feature. It will “just work.”
