You can activate Facebook comments on your site or your webTV.
What is Facebook comments?
Facebook Comments enables you to move the management of your comments on Facebook. Facebook comments is different from Facebook connect that exists for a long time at WM.
Facebook connect allows you to login with your FB account to post a comment. For Facebook Comments, all of the comments will be managed directly via Facebook.
Facebook Comments includes moderation tools and other Facebook features:
- Social Relevance: Comments Box uses social signals to surface the highest quality comments for each user. Comments are ordered to show users the most relevant comments from friends, friends of friends, and the most liked or active discussion threads, while comments marked as spam are hidden from view.
- Distribution: Comments are easily shared with friends or with people who like your Page on Facebook. If a user leaves the “Post to Facebook” box checked when she posts a comment, a story appears on her friends’ News Feed indicating that she’s made a comment on your website, which will also link back to your site.
Friends and people who like the Page can then respond to the discussion by liking or replying to the comment directly in the News Feed on Facebook or in the Comments Box on your site.
Threads stay synced across Facebook and on the Comments Box on your site regardless of where the comment was made.
