Improving Comments Across The Web

Today, we’re launching updates to the Comments Box plugin with new moderation tools as well as features to improve the distribution and quality of comments on your site.

More Social Relevance

The upgraded Comments Box uses social signals to surface the highest quality comments for each user. Comments are ordered to show users the most relevant comments from friends, friends of friends, and the most liked or active discussion threads, while comments marked as spam are hidden from view.

In the example below, Cat is my friend and I see her comment first:

Users can obtain more context about a person by looking at the text next to a person’s name, where they can see information such as mutual friends, work title, age, or current city. This information shown will always respect the person’s privacy settings, and you will only be able to see information you can already see on Facebook.
