Facebook, in a latest development to make websites more social, has deployed commenting system for blogs and websites.
This commenting system will allow website owners to make it possible for their readers to comment on their websites using their Facebook or Yahoo IDs. Yes, Facebook comment system doesn’t allow comments with twitter, Google, name/website or anonymous IDs.
All comments posted on websites will be relayed on users’ Facebook feeds. Not only this, Facebook users will be able to comment on websites from their Facebook home/news feeds as well.
Comments will look like something following:
If you want to get these comments rolled out for your website, then click this link
A great tool to go ahead, However, before you get the plugin you may need to think about following:
- This comments system by Facebook can’t be backed-up, so there’s returning back. Once you integrate Facebook comments with your website then you won’t be able to get rid of it to revert back to your default commenting system. If you do so, you will lose all the comments.
- You may miss comments from those users who have Facebook blocked in their offices/schools.
- Not everyone would want to reveal their real identity while commenting
- Facebook comments accepts only Facebook and Yahoo IDs for commenters, no Twitter or Google IDs so far.
- Very limited number of comments are loaded first up. You will have to load more to see all the comments coming
- Users are reporting slower performance (in terms of load time) of Facebook comments’ system.
Thats a great tool for Generating good traffic to Websites. Specially for Small Webmaster
Just fabolus…
its Lame!!
just use the disqus comment system!! that will provide you everything you want from your comments system on your blog or website!!
I would still want my default wordpress comment system. Its simple, Easy , and loved by many people who want to comment actually :)
Its not really wise decision to go for facebook commenting system but can help you get more traffic from this social network. If better commenting is needed, disqus and IntenseDebate are nice alternative to default wordpress commenting system
one issue is anonymous comments webmaster would never like to have that…. so i would still love blogger commenting…
This is sad news, cant actually find any reason as to why facebook preformed all of these changes…..
