Facebook's New Comment System



I am working on new website and plan to implement Facebook comments on website as well. Don't knwo if people will be willing to leave comments, but at least I will give a try.
 
Wouldn't it seem that FB's new comment system is in direct conflict with the new privacy laws that are going to be put into effect?

I just integrated it on a site I'm about to launch and there's an option to allow people to comment through "other systems".. I haven't tried it yet so I'm not sure if that means they can comment via twitter etc..

I am completely ignorant about Facebooks ad platform, but if they are just going to target the user, and not the onpage content, then I am not sure how revolutionary that will be since you can already target and stalk users with beacons and the like.

Do you really want to see dating ads when you are looking for advice on wedding rings? What about dating ads while you are looking for cheap antibiotics for your STD?

Mortgage refinance ads when you're declaring bankruptcy etc?

It seems to me that by trying to personalize too much, Facebook runs the risk of missing context, whereas with Adsense, the context is exactly what they target.

FB + Domain targeting would be pretty killer though.

I'm not sure what bothers me more about Facebook. How creepy it is that people willingly allow themselves to be tracked so freely, or that people think that FB is destined to be even more ubiquitous.

This is what I've been thinking about when I hear people call FB the Google killer. I think FB can be good for general stuff as someone above said, but where Google kills is context, especially for search. If you are searching for "Buy da berries" on Google, you are going to see berry ads. For FB, it's more of "You are interested in this stuff, even if you don't necessarily want any of it right now."
 
Here is my concern

What about the instances where FB and everything FB related is blocked in the workplace? If facebook is blocked at your office..will you be unable to see these targeted ads...unable to comment on articles/content etc?

And if so...doesnt that give Google a massive edge when the two are compared side by side?

If not..can someone explain why?

How hard would it be for them to run all log-ins through fb.com or some other domain to bypass that? It's a simple redirect from the log-in page at fb.com to send you to facebook.com. If facebook.com is blocked you're still logged in to the Internet as "you" when you go to other sites that are part of the Open Graph. Problem solved with 30 seconds of coding unless I'm missing something...
