Why the new Commenting System is bad for you !

Recently I told you that Facebook removed the comment button. Well, that was kind of surprising. I am still wondering why did Facebook take this step. Anyways I have noticed a few drawbacks if you use the new commenting system.

Recently I told you that Facebook removed the comment button. Well, that was kind of surprising. I am still wondering why did Facebook take this step.Β Anyways I have noticed a few drawbacks if you use the new commenting system.

First of all, there is nothing like write a comment look at it confirm and press ‘Comment’. It’s like when you had that button a sense of security was there. When you are sure what you have written you pressed comment. Now you just need to press ‘Enter’.

If you think you have written something out of rage and you just wish to remove it, well in that case you just have a few moments. The ‘X’ sign that used to remove the comment earlier, now is used for editing. When you wish to edit a certain something, click on ‘X’, you are given an option to edit it. But remember this is only for a few seconds or till nobody else has replied below your comment.:(

This is weird, you cannot edit the comment once written, you cannot remove it accordingly. Oh my God that is like really dangerous. So now always think before writing, no matter how angry or happy you are! I have got myself into trouble so many times but always had an option to remove my words, now it’s not like that.

Did Facebook developers want people to fight on comments or just scared of commenting? I am busy wondering the reason behind it. What about you ? Share your view with me.

Was gonna put a status on my wall today regarding this something like “Facebook and their stupid ‘innovations’ . I absolutely hate this new commenting system. Sometimes one wants to put some empty lines in between and start a new sentence like you do in a text message,no longer possible. I didn’t know about the not being able to delete your comment, until now. Really scary. Its like facebook doesnt have any more constructive work in office so just start rolling out new stupid features.
I really hope a whole lot of people reject this and maybe then they revert back πŸ™‚

Yes uday I agree with you, lets see how many people ask for it to be reverted back.Well if you want to write something in a new line try using Shit+Enter that will take u to a new line… πŸ™‚

After all its Facebooks innovation! Come on! You cant expect them to listen to every persons concern!
I feel clicking on the comment button was more like another task to do! Facebook wants its user to continue chatting, discussing about a topic in more faster and easier way. Express your view and press enter, then done! You can also like the comment if you want! So its like more time saving and energy saving! All you do is use keyboard! Good for people who use laptops too! πŸ™‚
