Facebook has unveiled it has refreshed its commenting plug-in that allows Facebook users to comment on websites using their own names.
There are a number of sites already using the Facebook plug-in, including TechCrunch, and it seems that you can now publish the comments you make on articles to your own Facebook feed, allowing your friends to view what you think about particular stories.
It’s an interesting concept that completely opens up the idea of story commenting – something that is usually done through a pseudonym.
Like most commenting systems, a publisher who uses the plug-in can censor certain comments made, including the blacklisting of words and users.
To add the commenting system to a site you will only need a line of code and the ranking of comments will be done through how many Likes a comment gets.
This is not the first major change Facebook has made to its API this week. It also changed its Like button, making it more like the site’s Share feature.
