Social Relevance: Comments Box uses social signals to surface the highest quality comments for each user. Comments are ordered to show users the most relevant comments from friends, friends of friends, and the most liked or active discussion threads, while comments marked as spam are hidden from view.
Distribution: Comments are easily shared with friends or with people who like your Page on Facebook. If a user leaves the “Post to Facebook” box checked when she posts a comment, a story appears on her friends’ News Feed indicating that she’s made a comment on your website, which will also link back to your site.
Friends and people who like the Page can then respond to the discussion by liking or replying to the comment directly in the News Feed on Facebook or in the Comments Box on your site. Threads stay synced across Facebook and on the Comments Box on your site regardless of where the comment was made.
Features:
-Features include moderation tools and distribution.
-Show on selected Content Sections.
-Show on Sections, categories, frontpage
-Configure number of comments to show.
-Configure Width.
-Latest Facebook comments layout
-2 Facebook CSS styles.
-Automated Social Graph Meta Tags.

One of the first times I've gotten anything to do with FB to work as planned (lately). With all the things FB is changing most developers have yet to catch up. I was skeptical of this one but tried it anyway. Worked so well I removed the previously installed share button and J-Comments from my 1.5 install. Everything worked as planned. The only thing I would like to see is some more options as to what order to put buttons in. Share button right up against like button didn't look so hot. Easy to read code I was able to change share button to last in line and float right. Works and looks perfect now!
This is replacing any other type of comment system out there.
• No or non-existant spam
• Post as yourself (Facebook Profile) or (Facebook Page) administrator.
• Manage comments (remove & Hide)
• Follow or not conversation
• Post or not to Facebook
• Easy to style (not the Facebook Part)
• All the good it does for SEO and having feedback from your visitors
• Sending the article and/or the conversation to multiple socials channels and by email is a bonus.
BRAVO!

The plugin works fine. But it changes the Meta Content of every page to the meta content of homepage. Please work on that and resolve it.

Hello puneet_jain, the only meta content that the plugin changes if the Facebook meta tags (it has to be that way), if your pages don't have any Joomla meta description, it uses the global description, there is nothing to fix on the plugin about meta tags, please ad meta description to your pages if you don't want the global description in to all pages.
This plugin supposedly has everything I want, but I can't get the comments part of it to function at all.
Most all support history on the developer's website is in Spanish, and while you can post a comment with a question to the developer, I haven't received a response, but have noticed others are having the same problem.
The documentation is lacking as well.
Overall I would give this plugin a 5 stars if it worked properly.

Got it to work after a couple quick and amicable clarifications from the creator of the plugin. I'd give it a 5 star if it could also display the plugin the blog layout.
