So does that mean everybody I know on facebook will be alerted when I comment on something?
More to the point, all your comments will be associated with your Facebook identity, so Zuckerberg can make some money selling the identities of all HotAir posters to various Leftist groups.
I’ve never used Facebook or Hot Air, but sometimes I scroll through comments there. Today a poster said she wouldn’t be able to post any more because of anonymity issues. She’s a teacher and she’d be in big trouble if her opinions should get “out there” and connected with her name.
Judging from that comment it seems that the answer to your question may be that everybody you know on Facebook will be alerted to your comments. Still... I’m not sure. Am Facebook ignorant.
Actually about 80% or more of the comments were not happy about the change.
