DISQUS

I've seen commenting on my feed for quite a while for Google News items... and I have yet to see anyone use them...

So glad they finally added these features. I'd given up using FB in a meaningful way - too many friends & too few ways to sort them out. This is a great step in the right direction. Though more to be done.

All the above new features are nice but why they change the latest friends status updates that appeared on the right side of the News Feed? They were really useful in seeing friends statuses at a glance...

I think commenting has been there for a few days actually -- Sarah Perez and I had a comment thread going on Facebook about the new X-Files movie on I think Monday.

That said, strangely, commenting only appears one *some* of my news feed items. Most status updates have a comment link, for example, but a handful don't. I can't seem to figure out how Facebook is determining which items I should be allowed to comment on.

Yes, this new addition definitely puts FriendFeed in direct competition with Facebook but what I think is good about this is the fact that Facebook actually has the power to bring lifestreaming to a mainstream level, while FriendFeed (no matter how much I love it) simply has no such power.

The comments have been around for at least a few weeks -- the new design just makes them more visible.

So... my facebook account was deleted today by the admins.
This is pretty silly, as the only reason I've really used the site in the past few months is to pay for ads.
I wonder what's going on there. I guess it's impossible for me to get my account back though.

I don't think there's ever been a question in my mind that Facebook is competing with FriendFeed.

The newsfeed has been the central attraction of FB's networking features (OK, OK, along with pictures and events) for some time, and I think FB is in a tough spot because disparate services like FriendFeed, FlickR, AIM, and Twitter could replace the centralized system much like the modern internet replaced AOL.
