wordpress comment code meta data?

You guys might not have an exact answer for me... but your team has made some great recommendations in situations like this in the past...
I believe the solution here involves figuring out how the default WP post commenting code works (but I can't find anything)... and combining it with User Meta.
OBJECTIVE: I want logged in Users to see a dated Wall of latest updates (the format of WP comments would be great / a Facebook style Wall). Site admins post the comments on the backend and it shows up on their account page. I think this is similar to how a package tracking system works where they post each day where the package is. My guess is that the comments are posted as some kind of Meta that only that User sees.
Even ideas on where I should search for this type of information (resources) or plugins that get me there would be helpful.
Hi there,
Unfortunately I have not seen anything like this using WordPress.
You could asking around on a general WordPress forum like this one:

Thanks!
Ok cool I'll check that out.
Do you know of any resources on how the post comment system works?
Maybe the comment.php and comment-template.php files in the wp-includes folder is what you are looking for?
Ok cool thanks!
No problem :)
