For awhile I've had facebook.com as an SOA on my DNS server which means all fecebook.com requests got bounced to one of my servers because I wanted nothing to do with that outfit. This works well and you'd be amazed at how many doo hickeys phone home for god knows what to facebook.com whenever you download a site. Anyway, I was browsing the Trib on my laptop which uses a public DNS server and I saw the comments and it looks like some fancy scripting originating from the real facebook.com. The comments do get displayed. I thought the Trib was using facebook for only user validation -- not to manage and serve comments which sometimes can be the most entertaining and insightful aspect of an online newspaper if done right. Facebook now pwns the Tribune corporation.
