Mar 02 Facebook Rolls Out Enhanced Commenting System

Bored with the same old interface for commenting section on your blog/website ? Well, you can opt for Disqus or IntenseDebate or any other plug-in but you may want to go for facebook Comments Box which is a social plug-in that allows user’s to comment on your blog or website in which features such as moderation tools and distribution are included. But what’s with that ? This social plug-in is being used in common but there’s something different from now because Facebook has rolled out an enhanced commenting system.

This enhanced commenting method will let website possessors to make it feasible for their readers/visitors to drop down comments on their websites using their individual Facebook or Yahoo IDs, but the system won’t allow users to comment through twitter, Google, name/website or anonymous IDs.

Besides, all those comments which will be dropped on your website by readers will be transmitted on users Facebook feeds. This is not all; Facebook users will be able to comment on websites from their Facebook home/news feeds as well.

Check this screenshot of the new commenting system:

Note: Without a doubt this will be an innovative way for letting users comment on websites but before you go for it bring these points in consideration, which are as follows:

• This comments system by Facebook won’t be able to back up, means no returning back. Once you’ve installed this plug-in on your website, you won’t be able to roll back or chuck out or even restore the previous commenting system again, however if you attempt to roll back the plug-in, your comments will be disposed and will never return back.
• Usability will be a bit damaged because those readers, who would be in offices/schools where facebook is restricted to use, won’t be able to comment and be a part of the discussion on your website.
• Not each and every person would prefer to publicize their genuine identity while dropping down a comment
• Rather then those who will be commenting through Facebook or Yahoo ID’s won’t be able to comment through their desired ID’s like of Twitter or Google ID’s.
• Quite limited numbers of comments are loaded first up. You will have to load more to see all the comments coming
• Users are making statements that the Facebook Comment’s System is slow in terms of performance when it loads.

“After all bearing these things in mind, will you opt for the facebook comment system or if you already have then are you facing glitches in performance or any other thing noticeable, if so or not do let us know !”
