Integrating Facebook comments into SharePoint

Here is an interesting topic. Almost all of us have Facebook account. What if you would like to post a comment in your blog site or even in to a team site without posting it as a network windows account.

Seems to be an interesting topic right? Well yes, and the answer lies in Joels Oleson’s effort. We would like to thank Joel for creating such a fantastic functionality.

You can find the WSP here.

The advantage is it’s a sandbox solution, so even you do not have to depend of farm administrator to install it for you.

Now I assume that you have deployed that WSP in the solutions gallery and activated.

Go to a page where you want to have this web part shown. Edit the page and add web part. You will find under social collaboration section a web part called FBCommentsBoxWebPart. Add that webpart to a page.

The moment you add a web part, you get something like this and then you would be able to add comments using different social media.

I hope this will help many and you will use it whenever possible.
