What's troublesome about systems like that is they invariably end up pulling FB's tracking code onto your blog.

  Right, we don't want that. I think it's technically possible to do the following: 1. I, as the blog owner, authorize this Facebook app to access my Facebook page. 2. I tell the Facebook app the URL of my blog. 3. That Facebook app watches my Facebook page for any posts linking to my blog. 4. When it detects a post on my page linking to my blog, it scans the comments of that post and automatically re-posts those comment to my blog's native comment system, outside the FB walled garden. Ditto for a Twitter-authorized app. This way, all the comments about my original content stick with the original content, rather than bound up in walled gardens. While this all is technically possible, it probably breaks Facebook's terms of service.

    What if I want to reply to a comment that was made on Facebook? How would the user be notified?

      The Facebook app should sync comments on Facebook with those on the blog. So, you could just reply on Facebook, which would then automatically get posted to the blog. As for the other way around, when a reply is posted on the blog to a comment that was imported from Facebook, I think the FB app could handle that too, and post a reply to the Facebook thread: "Joe Foobar posted a reply to you here: [link to comment on blog]"
