Facebook Connect
Facebook just announced Facebook Connect which lets you use Facebook to authenticate on your own site. Except that, uh, its already possible to do that with the existing Facebook APIs, although other than our implementation at DeepRockDrive I haven’t seen many other sites do this. I suppose the Connect stuff makes the approach a bit more smooth and supports it more officially, but its all there already.
For us supporting Facebook authentication was a no-brainer. We care about getting a ton of people to our site to see our cool interactive shows. If we can skip a whole registration process and all that mess and have them just click the Facebook icon, and it works, perfect.
