Overview
Postmatic Social Commenting takes a lighter weight approach than traditional Social Login plugins.
The big difference
No WordPress users are created. Nobody is logged in. This is not social login, it is social commenting. That means it is simple, lean, and whoopingly fast.
How it works
- Users click the social network icon of their choice when they want to leave a comment.
- The social network asks their permission to share their name, profile image, and email address with your site.
- If they agree a standard WordPress cookie is added to their browser and the comment form is ready for their reply. When they return to your site they are already authorized. Nice.
