Wordpress Challenges the Facebook Comments Box by Adding Facebook, Twitter Logins to its Comments Widget

WordPress just announced that it has added WordPress.com, Twitter and Facebook login options to its own comments widget. Users can also be logged into multiple different accounts at once, making it easy to use different identities to comment depending on where they want their comments syndicated.

The addition of Facebook login to the WordPress comments widget could decrease demand for Facebook’s own Comments Box social plugin, which only supports less popular logins such as Yahoo! and AOL, and lacks support for Twitter or WordPress.com.
