The social networking site also announced a list of publisher partners that will now integrate the plugin as their commenting platform of choice. The new system has a number of changes that could prove transformative in the commenting experience. These changes include:
1) Comments that are ranked based on your socialgraph
2) Synchronization of conversations happening on Facebook with conversations happening on publishers sites
3) Added moderation features for publishers For more coverage on the new commenting system, and an example of what this new system will look like, check out my take here. Do you think this new commenting system a game-changer? Write on our Facebook wall and let us know!
