Update:
Faceback once again has brought back user photo comments, as of July. After adding a feature toggle switch for this in admin panel and adding API support, it looks like this feature is here to stay. I think Facebook did the right thing in this case, they reserve the right to experiment and try new things, but also do right by their customers and are reasonable with business requests. Nice work FB 🙂

It looks like they’ve changed course as Facebook removes photo comments. You might have seen 5 days ago that Facebook rolled out photo comments to pages. After that story next came notice the feature temporarily disappeared. Now it seems the feature has completely disappeared and will remain gone, at least for a little while.

How the old ...

You might have stumbled across a Facebook page that allows replies directly to user comments. Most pages currently don’t, but there are a few out there that Facebook has been testing, and many more are coming. Some examples are the ESPN Facebook page, the United States of Anonymous page, and the Huffington Post Facebook page.

This week Facebook is prompting page owners if they want to turn this functionality on, so of course I had to try it out for mixedwiki.

Do you think this is a good user feature, or will conversation threads get side tracked? What about businesses and special interests pages, should they adopt this new feature? Maybe it won’t matter because Facebook is going to turn this on for all pages starting July 10th? I’d be interested to know your thoughts.
