The top secret labs at Facebook are in overtime right now: another experimental FB feature has been spotted in the wild. Soon we might be commenting on comments.
As it stands now, the best way to talk to someone else within a status comment thread (mouthful!) is to tag them in your reply. But according to Facebook, which confirmed the new feature to Mashable, we might soon be able to reply directly underneath someone, old-school blog style. This will make it a lot easier to see who’s talking to whom, but could also twist our Facebook statuses into complicated message boards instead of just… statuses. How deep will the comment comments go? It also opens a conceptual future for Liking a Like, which would in turn open a wormhole into hell. [Mashable]
I’m not looking forward to a nested fractal comment cycle. If you go deep enough it eventually just repeats the entire conversation.
It’s about time, it should have had this years ago
Their just making it easier for those irrelevant comments to become more irrelevant.
It’s going to be like Android fragmentation for comments all over again!
sorry but this is a silly idea, it will get overly confusing and people will end up getting annoyed with it
Facebook is gonna end up looking like what Reddit looks like…
I hate reddit.
I think have another nested level of comments is sensible. It would make a lot of the conversations I have on Facebook appear more cleanly.
Clearly having comment-ception where you comment on a comment of a comment ad nauseum would be silly, but adding an extra level should just allow it to flow a bit more sensibly.
I think this could make a lot of conversations much clearer and hopefully cut down on notifications you get from certain conversations that spring up in comments. I don’t think it should go any deeper though, there is a risk it’ll get a little confusing.
