A small feature that facebook might want to try and why facebook plugin is getting popular.

But i feel Facebook plugin is still not very stable. Their JS SDK always had trouble with Chrome and Safari. Off late, Chrome has been stable but people still complain a lot about issues on Safari (iOS).

I agree Ideas is worth a try but would like to add there would be huge challenge in "Spam filter" for voice based comments.

That is an interesting point. In fact, till last week, spam filter of facebook comment plugin was not very good. There were so many "ad based" posts on TechCrunch. But now they have fixed it which is good.

Spam filter for voice content will be an interesting thing and challenging too. I am not sure if how does youtube does it ?? It can be a new direction to think for "Spam masters" like Akismet.

Google seems to be already working on it. http://www.pcworld.com/article/235637/google_voice_spam_filt...

With , them being in VOIP business for some time, I am sure they must be handling it in some way or must be on way to getting a smart product out for it.

In fact, Skype and other VOIP services must also be doing it in some way. There must be some way things are controlled.

I am not sure if Youtube scans the video to automatically detect and warn the user about offensive content. They give the warning today but no idea if the person who posts the video has to decide if content is offensive or not.

"Google groups once snatched the big byte from Yahoo forums. May be it is time for facebook to give Google the taste back."

I like the closing line. Nice blog.
