Examiner.com Named as Launch Partner for Facebook Commenting Plug-In

Local news network Examiner.com will be a key launch partner for Facebook’s new Commenting Plug-In, which incorporates comments from the News Feed on the social network into the comment threads of publishers and Web sites, as well as adding replies to comments on those sites to the News Feed.

The collaboration will allow users to comment under their true identities, increasing engagement. Comments on Examiner.com stories will be published to friends on Facebook, and friends’ comments on the Facebook News Feed will appear in the comment threads for Examiner.com articles.

The Commenting Plug-In also offers moderation tools, with every comment having the option of being either public (all users) or private (only the commenter and friends).
