There’s a cool posting by a friend that popped up on my Facebook wall, automatically included from his Ping.fm account.

I’d like to comment on this posting. I know it’s possible because I see two other comments already, but there is no button or link that will let me make a comment.

I can’t even click on the “P” icon to take me to Ping.fm! At the very least, this should link to a page describing how I can comment on such posts.

Even once I’ve created a Ping.fm account, I can’t find any information that tells me how to comment (I presume it must be done within Ping).

And as a side note, the Ping.fm developers are stuck in 1971 when it comes to international time with their use of GMT. Please change this! UTC replaced GMT on January 1, 1972.
