With Facebook making more developments in its site to increase its usability; giving users more things to work on with and the developers provided with opportunity to put forward newer applications. It will very soon be making it a possibility to let users leave comments on each others “mini-feeds�.
The new feature will allow them to comment on the announcements of any item that has been posted as well as to the post. The current feature for comments in Facebook is the user’s ‘wall’, on photographs, videos and any other item that is put up by the users to share. The mini-feed was initially launched in 2006, with a purpose to show details of what activity is being performed by a member. As Tom Whitnah comments on Facebook blog:
In the past, you’ve been able to comment on photos, notes and posted items, but if there was something else on your friend’s profile—an interesting status, or a cool new friendship—you’d need to send a message or write a Wall post to talk about it. But starting today, you can comment on your friends’ Mini-Feed stories right from their profile.
The feature has been extremely popular on Friendfeed and as it has happened in the past Facebook mimicking many a famous features like the status update; which was initially found at Twitter and later Facebook introduced it in its application as well. Whatever Facebook does, a user of this rapidly expanding social network benefit from it, and perhaps this is one major reason why Facebook has made it big on user-base.
The mini-feed feature can also be turned off if members don’t like being commented upon from the privacy settings (So Facebook does maintain its privacy policy as usual, good work).
