After GIFs & Emojis, Facebook Now Lets You Respond To Comments With Videos

First came hi5, then came Orkut and so on and so forth... A host of social networking sites have come and gone without a trace. Facebook however hasn't just survived for over 10 years, it's gone on to become the world's favourite social networking site.
And there's obviously a reason for this! Getting to the top is one thing, staying there is another matter altogether. Innovation is the name of the game as far as keeping youngsters hooked on is concerned. And when it comes to innovation, Mark Zuckerberg and Co. do a stellar job. Facebook keeps doling out new features to keep things interesting.
The latest features involves responding to comments... Earlier you could only post texts as a reply but lately, there are other options available. 

Pictures speak louder than words. So Facebook came up with commenting options that consisted of not just text. 

Like pictures.

But, when have we stopped asking for more, eh? 

Facebook now let's us post videos in the comments section as well. And it's as simple as adding a photo.

Bob Baldwin, a Facebook engineer, mentioned in a blog that this feature was built in February, when the latest hackathon happened.

Right now, the feature is only available on the web application, but will soon be available on Android and iOS as well.
