Facebook to let users edit comments

The social network has started rolling out a feature where you can edit your comments on posts and view the edit history, something that should arrive for most users over the coming days.

Facebook will allow users the ability to edit any old comments on status updates, photos, videos or other content posted on the web site.

According to an article by  Daniel Ionescu in PC World:

When you hover over the top-right corner of your comment, you will now see an option called “Edit or Delete”.

If you click Edit, you will be allowed to make changes to the comment, add or delete words and so on. This is much more useful than the temporary editing capabilities you had so far, as it allows you to go back through your timeline and edit any comments you made. It’s also more useful than deleting a comment altogether and then reposting it, which would otherwise prompt a notification for those involved in the thread.

Mashable reports that the editing ability went live on Thursday evening, and will be gradually rolling out to all users over the next few days.
