Don’t worry, I will still let you be Anon-Chickenshits on my site (H/T – AG)
I know most of you, so I do a pretty good job of filtering out the psychos – sometimes. But this can’t be good news for ANON commenters on the Argue Endorser’s website;
Gannett this month will begin a groupwide initiative requiring readers to become Facebook members before they are allowed to submit online comments. The move covers all of Gannett’s U.S. newspaper and broadcast sites as well as USA Today. The publisher tested swapping commenting management from Pluck to Facebook at four newspaper sites before making the switch. A memo issued by the publisher said it will continue to use Pluck’s software for other website functions, at least for the short-term. Gannett follows a growing group of newspaper publishers that have opted to use Facebook as a conduit through which readers can post comments. Among them, The Orange County (Calif.) Register, MediaNews Group, Tribune Co., Media General and The San Diego Union-Tribune.
STORMLAND TV already does this on their site. I like it. Wanna say something? Back it up. I also believe you can delete your own comments, if you misspoke 🙂
I totally busted a city snowplow operator bitching about snow gates on the KELO site, and he deleted the comments. I guess losing all of that overtime got him worried.
