New FB page feature LOOKS AWESOME how to get it for me too??
-
So I was commenting on an article that my girlfriend shared and the coolest thing happened. Check out the screens for details, but basically, as soon as i finished my comment and pressed enter, a little like box prompt window popped up.
This was on FB not on their site, and I thought that was awesome.
Anyone heard of, or no what is required to get this for other pages???
Thanks!!

Hi Tyler,
I'm not sure on that one. I agree that it looks like a great thing for users, and hope some other people chime in.
I cropped your photo to show just the area of interest (instead of the other browser tabs you had open, etc) because the image was being reduced too much to show what you were talking about.

I'm thinking it has to do with their promoted post/advertising system - I've seen it with sponsored posts before (like the one I attached here). It's interesting that for you it showed up after you interacted with a shared post (rather than just showing up automatically on a sponsored post)...that is a really nice feature for advertisers - maybe they are running a sponsored stories campaign that is set up to target friends of fans? That's my guess!

I don't believe this is an ad. This seems to work on a number of sites I've looked at, including CNN, Fox News, and Search Engine Land (but not SEOMoz).
I took a look at the Open Graph tags for the sites, but didn't see anything out of the ordinary, and I haven't been able to replicate it with my site. Definitely something to keep an eye out for.
