Facebook comments and likes problem

Question
I would like to know when a user leaves a comment or likes a page, so I used
FB.Event.subscribe('comments.add', function(response) {
alert('comment add');
});
FB.Event.subscribe('comment.remove', function(response) {
alert('comment remove');
});
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(response) {
alert('like add');
});
FB.Event.subscribe('edge.remove', function(response) {
alert('like remove');
});
Only 'comments.add' is working which is different from the facebook doc, so I guess there are another names for the other events? The like button doesn't work at all it gives the following error
Website inaccessible The page at http://localhost.local/interviews/view/2 could not be reached.
I am using:
<fb:comments numposts="5" notify="true" width="450" height="500" class="fb_iframe_widget">/fb:comments>
as it is shown in the url, I am working on localhost environment, is this the problem?
Solution
Yep, if Facebook's crawler can't reach your page, it can't be liked. I'm not sure the comments plugin has that level of verification so I think the comments plugin may still work
