Facebook Mini-Feed Commenting just launched a few hours ago. Now when you are looking at someones mini-feed on their profile page you can leave a comment. Much in the same way that you can write on a users wall, you can now write/comment on their mini-feed activity.

In the past, you’ve been able to comment on photos, notes and posted items, but if there was something else on your friend’s profile, an interesting status, or a cool new friendship, or a quiz result (as I show in the screen shot below) you’d need to send a message or write a Wall post to talk about it.

A little balloon shows on the right side for the mini-feed actions that you can comment on. As more comments appear on that item the balloon displays a number of comments. Click on the balloon and the item expands. This is nice, simple and easy. I like the ability to comment son something in this area. This will be more important in the new page layouts that are coming very soon.

Also worthy of note here is that when people comment on an item (say a video or a note) those comments ROLL UP to the minifeed. See this example in a video mini-feed comment. Note the date of the comments was from june 10. That was way before this feature was turned on. cool!

This is yet another interaction point for users. This is similar to the way FriendFeed.com works in the way that you can comment right back into the activity reporting. Kind of cool and very meta.

Facebook just keeps removing the points of friction for communication and expanding the points & places that people can converse and converge data. I like that a lot.
