Facebook Comments Epitomizes Everything I Hate About Facebook

It's been a month since we introduced Facebook Comments round these parts, time enough to have given it some serious consideration. And my conclusions are as follows: ...are you kidding me? This is the best a $75 billion company could come up with? Isn't Facebook supposed to be the new home of software's best and brightest? Is this some kind of elaborate practical joke? The whole point of a comment is to make new information or a new opinion available. Good luck with that. As far as I can tell you cannot deep link to Facebook comments, and searching through them is at best a pain and can verge on outright impossible. A memorable comment on my last post included the phrase "I've been inside the sarcophagus at Chernobyl": when I mentioned this on my Twitter feed, I was deluged by "couldn't-find-it" replies, because it takes three clicks to find that sentence? and there is no way to make that comment more visible.
