So you thought Facebook might leave the blogosphere alone that it had enough responsibility on its hands If this is the case Zuckerberg and co are about to prove you wrong The social networking sight just launched a new Comment Box that uses Facebook Connect to make your blog more socialHere are the four reasons why we believe this might be a game changer for blogs and people who read themNo need to log in We39ve all been there you just read an article on a blog you have something to contribute you click to post a comment But then the torture begins in many cases you have to create an account give your email decipher a captcha and so on But if the blogger has installed the Facebook comment plugin and if you39re already logged into Facebook you won39t have to go through this The Comment Box lets you post automatically through Facebook making conversations seamlessSay goodbye to derogatory comments What is more annoying than having to read through insults or derogatory comments Facebook helps keep blogs cleanConsider this Insulting someone while hidden behind an anonymous username is easy When comments you write are posted under your real name and your Facebook account not so muchWith so much transparency via Facebook will everyone want to post a comment We39re not so sure Nevertheless we think this system could possibly mean one thing bye bye spammers and people with an axe to grindMore conversation for your blog This might be the real incentive for bloggers around the world to switch to this systemWhenever you leave a comment on a blog using Facebook39s plugin you will see a box already ticked that asks you if you also want to publish the comment on your Facebook newsfeedThat is nice but there is more to it Any friend who responds on Facebook to your comment will then see his or her post appear on the blog39s comment thread This is on the upandup as people will see the name of the blog on Facebook and know where their comment is going before posting it This helps build the blogger39s fame and possibly subscribers We bet this will be the reason why this new system becomes a hitEasy admin This system also comes with the expected moderation tools admins can moderate and delete comments check for spam etc However businesses that use this system for their corporate blogs give ownership of comments over to Facebook and lose the data gathering and analysis available with other commenting systemsIn general we believe this could be a major advancement for bloggers More so because this is the first time Facebook is allowing automatic external posting from Facebook to a blogMuch like when Facebook connect was launched the big question is to know whether this system will be broadly adopted or not If it is it could become a dangerous competitor for companies like DisqusSo what do you think Would you be able to install Facebook39s system on your blog What would you reaction be if your favorite blog used this new feature Let us know in our Facebook free comment sectionRomain Vezirian has held a variety of newmedia roles within the worldwide team of Parisbased Publicis Consultants part of MSLGROUP since joining in 2007 He can be reached at romainvezirianconsultantspublicisfrRead all Romain39s MediaBizBloggers commentaries at Critical ConversationsCheck us out on Facebook at MediaBizBloggerscomFollow our Twitter updates MediaBizBloggerMediaBizBloggers is an openthought leadership blog platform for media marketing and advertising professionals companies and organizations To contribute contact Jackmediadvisorygroupcom The opinions expressed in MediaBizBloggerscom are not those of Media Advisory Group its employees or other MediaBizBloggerscom contributors Media Advisory Group accepts no responsibility for the views of MediaBizBloggers authors
