WordPress rolls out Twitter and Facebook comments options
WordPress has launched a three-way commenting system allowing people to use their WordPress, Twitter or Facebook account to leave a comment on a WordPress blog or news site.
Readers can decide which identity they use to leave comments and, after authenticating accounts, can toggle between the three options before posting.
Announcing the new commenting system on its blog, WordPress said:
And since you know your readers well, you can now change the text above the comment box to be whatever you like. We recommend using the default we are applying to new blogs, “What are you thinking?”, as questions often encourage more comments, but you can change it to whatever you like by going to your dashboard, then Settings → Discussion.
Further Twitter and Facebook integration is also planned, the blogging platform announced.
