Facebook Connect Integration

Go social! Social applications such as Facebook are not just a fad; they are a new way of life on the web. Harnessing the power of these networks allows you to create a stickier and more relevant experience for your users.

What is Facebook Connect?

Facebook Connect is a powerful new offering from the FaceBook team that allows your users to engage in FaceBook activities directly from your site! It allows your users to spread the word about your site to their friends, and make experiencing your site part of their normal FaceBook workflow. Not only that, it allows your site and the actions they take on it to be broadcast to their friends on FaceBook.

Reasons to Install Facebook Connect

• Users don’t shy away from your registration screen: Many users don’t want to log into new websites. When confronted with a registration requirement, many users prefer hitting the back button. With Facebook Connect installed, they can use their Facebook credentials to log into your site. It’s simple and fast, and can get you more registered users.
• You learn about your users: Facebook can tell you lots if interesting things about your users. For example, it can tell you how many of the user’s friends are already members of your site. While you can’t get all of the user’s information, you can get lots of useful things like basic profile info and profile image. All this is stored at Facebook, so it saves you some server space.
• Your users’ activity can be broadcasted on Facebook…free viral advertising!: Actions your users take on your website can be posted automatically on that user’s wall or in their newsfeed. Not only is that advertising free, it’s the most trusted and effective way to get your word out on the web.
