Facebook has released a major update to its Comments Box social plugin. The plugin processes social signals to surface the most relevant comments, and a new moderation dashboard allows admins to block profanity and other objectionable content. Users can login to the plugin with credentials from third-parties including Yahoo!, and comments are published to a user’s wall by default, driving traffic to the website.
With these enhancements, Facebook’s Comments Box plugin is ready to compete with WordPress comments, Disqus, IntenseDebate, and other embeddable comment systems.
Web publishers can configure their plugin and copy the embed code from the Comments documentation page.
We’ll have more details in the next few minutes.
