Facebook announce a number of new features to its recently-launched Comment Plugin to mark the milestone of its presence on more than 50,000 websites.

The features added to the Facebook commenting platform include increased size for comments in the news feed that is expected to increase conversion from news feed exposure.

Another new feature is the addition of Hotmail integration. Facebook users can now log in via their Hotmail account.

Last but not the least, an important addition for webmasters is the new comments API, that provides the ability mine comment data, export, and search comments to identify active visitors or most active conversations.

Facebook will automatically upgrade all sites to the new version of the comments plugin on April 29th. However, those wanting to upgrade now can do so by adding the ‘migrated=1‘ parameter to their existing <fb:comments> tag.

More about the features and can be found at Facebook developers page.

There’s been a rumor going around the internet that Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook, has decided to shut Facebook down on March 15th, 2011, in order to get his old life back.

This rumor is False. We have confirmed that Facebook will not be shutting down on March 15th.

Update: The rumor of Facebook shutting down on March 15 was published by Weekly World News which is a hoax.

It is difficult to believe every story published by newspaper that publishes false rumors. Weekly World News has published stories like George Clooney is running for president.

According to the Daily Mail, “It is April Fool’s Day all-year round at Weekly World News, which is well known for its false reports. Recent stories have included ‘Kate Middleton, age 36?” and alien spaceships to attack Earth in 2011″.

Moreover, mashable reported that they received an email from Zuckerber saying that the rumor is false.

So, rest assured, Facebook is not shutting down very soon.

We are becoming more obsessed with Facebook every day. 1 out of 13 people on earth and 3 out of 4 Americans are members of Facebook.

A picture is worth a thousand words. Check out this very interesting info-graphic from SocialHype, OnlineSchools.org, and Mashable.com.

Facebook has just hit 600 million users and is quickly approaching 650 million. Facebook’s marketing measurement tools have long understated demographics, so after we adjust for this it appears like the website just struck the 600 million user mark.

The site added 100 million people in 6 months, and also over one 5th of them were in the U.S., which continues to be largest-represented nation on the website.

Parts of Asia also had a large amount of development since June, namely India, Indonesia and the Philippines. The latter two have been in the top five amongst countries represented on Facebook, but possess a fraction of the number of people that the U.S. possesses.

But we’re a lot more interested in if the present speed of progress continues, and if so for how long. Would Facebook get to 650 million users in March and 700 million in June? Development in the U.S. is anticipated to level off sometime quickly, and then the rest of the growth will need to come from the rest of the world.

Recently, there has been plenty of questions as to whether Facebook has crossed the 600 million user mark. Goldman Sachs is apparently informing possible Facebook investors that the social networking site presently has 600 million monthly active users. But Facebook stats portal Socialbakers puts Facebook’s member list at 596,372,520 members.

Facebook happens to be the third biggest web site on the planet, based on comScore. Facebook received an estimated 648 million unique visitors from around the world in November 2010. Of course, Sharebakers is counting registered members and comScore simply counts unique visits.
