But now looks like Facebook is about to beat Google there too. This is a really, really smart move on the part of Facebook.
Collectively the blogosphere is bigger than Facebook. And if there Facebook is going to get pervasive it is going to be like Facebook took over the blogosphere. Not everyone wishes to blog, most people don't. But most people would love to leave comments if it were easy to do, and if you could take those comments over to your Facebook wall.

Being able to connect with Facebook Connect, having to use your real name, and the ability to take your comments over to your wall on Facebook: those are awesome details.
Caroline McCarthy: Facebook's next big media move: Comments: Facebook is planning to launch a third-party commenting system in a matter of weeks ..... This new technology could see Facebook as the engine behind the comments system on many high-profile blogs and other digital publications very soon....... it's an obvious and direct competitor to start-ups that provide commenting technology, like Disqus and Echo. With Facebook Places adopting much of the "check-in" methodology that smaller competitors Foursquare and Loopt offer, and Facebook Questions operating in the same space as QuoraImage by skidder via Flickr
