Facebook Connect Implementation

By Kevin Barenblat
August 5, 2009
Facebook Connect is a powerful way to integrate your site’s compelling content and existing traffic with the viral draw of all your users’ friends.

Facebook Connect enables site owners to:

  • Allow site sign-in with Facebook login
  • Pull information regarding users, including photos and interests
  • Access users’ friends via Facebook’s social graph
  • Distribute user actions by publishing feed items

“Facebook Connect makes it easier for you to take your online identity with you all over the Web, share what you do online with your friends and stay updated on what they’re doing. You won’t have to create separate accounts for every website, just use your Facebook login wherever Connect is available.”
