Facebook Connect

edited March 2009 in General
Facebook recently began to roll out it's Facebook Connect (FC) System. If integreated with talkSFU, it would allow you to login using your facebook username and password. This is being installed on many blogs and sites across the web as a way to reduce the need for a new username and password on every site you register with.

If you were logged in to talkSFU with FC, it would publish your activity to your news feed. For example, if you start a new thread or reply to someone else's thread, it will show up in your Facebook newsfeed. I think this is pretty cool and allows you to share your online activity and knowledgeable replies with your Facebook friends. From a marketing perspective, it would also help get the word out about talkSFU fairly effectively.

With that said, I know a lot of you guys don't have or care about Facebook. Do you think it would be worth it to install FC on talkSFU, or do you think we should forget about it. Discuss :smile:

    I have a facebook account, but wouldn't use it with this site. I like to keep isolated accounts and track what information I release online.

    Although it would be a great way to promote the site and get some more traffic over here, I agree with Nikolai. I like to know what's where.

    Oh god, I don't like this at all. I'm all for OpenID, but FB is evil. They already have way too much of our personal information, they don't need more.
