Facebook Offers Easy Commenting Alternative

Posted by timothy on Saturday March 5, 2011 @06:57AM from the disqus-among-yourselves dept.

Spice Consumer writes "Facebook has just unveiled a 'new system (that) lets website owners replace their current commenting system with Facebook's simply by dropping in a few lines of JavaScript.' How widely adopted this new system becomes could greatly affect Facebook's already entrenched position on the web and further compromise individual users' privacy."

Facebook will get replaced by the next "new thing" before too long.
Why?
I mean Google has been around for 13 years, with no signs of being replaced by a "new thing" anytime soon.
Facebook is a different beast. It's the first time I see a "global scale" social network. No one gave a fuck about MySpace outside the US, but facebook is all over the place.
