Happy New Year all. I was asked if the work I did last year integrating Blogengine.Net comments with Facebook notes comments turned out to be worth the time. I thought so, at least for one of the blogs hosted at my company. And so This is a follow-up to those posts, a summary of the benefits I've seen.
I thought it was worth-while to integrate the blog comments with Facebook. The conversation after a post can reveal as much or more than the actual post, of course Facebook is an island and that is why this plugin was needed.
As far as I can tell the biggest benefit has been to my
Pastor's blog. With his Facebook notes publicizing every blog post, the congregation on Facebook is able to comment on the Facebook side and that same conversation is then available on the web side. The Facebook poster is anonymous on the web ( their numerical Facebook id is used to identify them there)
I think it would be more useful if I took the time to integrate Akismet or some spam filter into his blog. Because of the amount of spam coming in, I had to shorten the time allowed for comments from the Internet. So the conversation is only able to be carried on then from the Facebook side.
But we can still at least follow it without being logged in to Facebook.
