Like Disqus, Facebook allows bloggers to use a Facebook application to manage comments. According to this article, "the ability for publishers to see the demographics of their users by age, gender, etc., puts Facebook well ahead of rivals like Disqus (who has a similar feature for premium users)." Maybe, but while I'm wary of giving my comments over to Disqus as it is (and hence, don't use it) I would be even doubly more reluctant to give them over to Facebook. Because with Facebook, data goes it, but it never comes out.
