 ABOUT ARTICLE
 This article is taken from cnet news dated on Jan 31,
2011.
 This article is written by staff writer Caroline
McCarthy.
 The news is about a popular social networking site is
soon launching a third-party commenting system.
 This third-party commenting system will power the
comments on large online publications.

lets take a brief review of this article.

THE NEWS IS:
 Facebook is planning to launch a third-party
commenting system in a matter of a week.
 This technology would see fb as the engine behind the
comments system on many high-profile blogs and other
digital publications.
 The company is actively seeking major media companies
and blogs to partner with it for its launch
 Part of a bigger media industry move spearheaded in
part by the recent hires of Nick Grudin and Andy
Mitchell.
LETS SEE WHAT’S GOING TO BE
CHANGE…

 Facebook, of course, is already very present in blog

comments.
 Currently the users are posting their alerts on fb walls
announcing they have commented.
 Even the users can have a “Social Comment” turned into
a status message.
AND THE CHANGE IN TECHNOLOGY
WILL BE….

 The new commenting product is a significantly deeper

expansion of this.
 Facebook will be able to power the entire commenting
system--handling the log-in and publishing, cross-
promoting comments on individuals‘.
Facebook walls, and possibly even promoting them as
well on media outlets' own "fan" pages. Undoubtedly,
the Facebook "like" button will be deeply integrated as
well.
HAVE A LOOK ON FB SOCIAL
NETWORKING SITES…
LETS SEE WHAT SOURCES HAS TO SAY..
 One source hinted that the Facebook commenting product
may also permit users to log in with Google, Yahoo, or Twitter
IDs if a publisher chooses to incorporate them.
 That's a surprising move considering Facebook's curious
relationship with the developer arms of both Google and
Twitter--Facebook blocked .
 Facebook wants to power the commenting systems of digital
publishers and blogs around the Web. This would be a further
step beyond other third-party tools the company has already
offered, such as those allowing the association of comments
with Facebook profiles and the use of "Like" and "Share on
Facebook" buttons.
 OUR REVIEW.
 These features have quickly become nearly present on
the Internet, and the new commenting engine could
eventually be similarly popular.
 There are many competitors Disqus and Echo, which are
successful in offering their own third party comment
systems by streamlining maintenance.
 But Facebook is Facebook, and if they get on the playing
field, the momentum of their brand and the size of their
userbase will no doubt shake things up.
ITS CONTI…

 In short even there are many companies which involves

in third-party commenting but frequency with which fb
launches new features it’s inevitable.
 We feel that due to number of users and its regular
launching a new things on site… this third-party
commenting technology will be appreciated by
everyone.
