Are you talking about facebook comments in WordPress?
Yeah, think so
eg

seems much easier and whilst it is giving into the borg etc etc
It's a good solution if you have problems with comment spam. If your tarvet audience is using facebook i tensively it's a grelt solution but it will keep some from commenting
It looks like what I have set up on a site - it's just a direct FB connect, single line of code in your template where you want to see the FB comments:
Quote
<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" num_posts="20" width="450"></fb:comments>
It isn't a bridge, it simply allows people to post comments directly with their FB login. I have WP comments active as well.
I use it on a high traffic news site, as I figure it helps raise attention with a commentator's friends, and thus increase the chances of "likes" which I figure as an important social media signal.
However, difficult to moderate - no single login - you just have to read through the comments as you see them, which means a real opportunity for spammers so far as I can tell.
Had a look at a few of the social commenting plugins available on the market in the last month for a recent development none were quite the ticket, loading comments offsite, integration with existing commenting system, spam protection etc etc. So decided to hold off for now and re-look in a couple of months.
