Facebook is moving a step beyond Facebook Connect by now allowing you to install the actual Facebook commenting interface on your own website.
The new service will your Facebook friends exactly where you are leaving comments, which could then get them to investigate the site as well.
Here’s more on how the new feature will work, from a company blog post earlier today:
With the Comments Box, Facebook users on your site can comment on your content, post those comments to their profiles, and share them with their friends on Facebook. The Comments Box allows non-Facebook users to make comments on your site as well. And via our APIs, you can access related comments made on Facebook as well to bring the conversation together.
Faebook also mentions that more than 6,000 developers have used Connect, and sites with Connect integration have seen up to 50 percent increases in comments.
