It’s too bad that so many blogs require membership in facebook. Those of us who choose not to be a member of facebook are not able to comment on blog posts.
That’s the first I’ve heard of blogs requiring membership on Facebook to comment. I follow more than 100 blogs, and not one of them through Facebook. Almost all of them allow comments. I’ll ask around about it… on a Facebook group. 🙂
