Facebook Is Getting More "Social"

This is definitely not new news but something I keep noticing and appreciating; the ability to comment on people's Facebook feed activity.  I have seen endless conversations via a person's status update and really believe this was a great move.  They have integrated the functionality of a traditional forum thread into the platform and now more than ever people are debating politics, helping eachother with issues and creating more of a social environment than the typical Facebook wall can provide.  These comments show up visibly on the feeds while signing in and encourage the average user to chime in.  Friends of one person can communicate where they wouldn't otherwise have the opportunity to do so thus creating more networking opportunities. I can't say enough about this feature.  Take advantage of it if you haven't already!
