One of the primary missions of minbcnews.com has been to encourage people in our communities to talk to each other about the local news, politics, sports and other topics that impact us, our neighborhoods and our community.
Thanks to Facebook, starting these conversations online is now very simple. When you push the “Recommend” or “Share” buttons in our articles, you can instantly begin a discussion about our stories with friends on your Facebook wall.
Your Facebook shares and recommendations also help us figure out which stories are actually important to the community. We can then put those stories in front of more readers to encourage even more discussion.
Now, we are introducing yet another Facebook feature that we hope will really boost community discourse: Facebook Comments.
Facebook Comments lets you add a comment to a story, reply to comments from others on <insert website name here> and post your comments to your Facebook wall so that your friends can see them.
When friends reply to your wall post, their comments will also be added to the story's comment stream. And you'll get notifications when <insert website name here>readers reply to your comments so that you can get back into discussion.
These are just a few ways in which Facebook Comments gets our readers and community members talking to each other. Want to learn more about <insert website name here>’s Facebook Comments features? Check out the links to all the resources we’ve created for you below.
