Facebook Furthers Attack on FriendFeed, Adds Comments to News Feed

Late last night Facebook updated user newsfeeds under the new profile design. The move was expected as Mark Zuckerberg gave a first preview during the f8 keynote last week. The new feature enables users to filter through “Top Stories”, “Status Updates”, “Photos” and “Posted Items”. This means that users are now going to have access to many more news stories beyond the pre-filtered ones that Facbeook chose to display. There are two significant changes to this update.

FriendFeed-Like Commenting Added

One of the most significant changes is that there is now commenting on certain news feed items directly from within the feed.
