One simple system. One simple login. That is the aim of Facebook’s freshest creation - Facebook Connect. Facebook Connect is a universal registration system that allows its users to login onto other websites via Facebook ID. The importance of this feature is convenience. The convenience in a universal registration system means that, instead of having to remember or write down numerous login names and passwords, you only need to remember one.

Facebook explains Facebook:

Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected.

Millions of people use Facebook everyday to keep up with friends, upload an unlimited number of photos, share links and videos, and learn more about the people they meet.

So what will Facebook Connect offer?

Features of Facebook Connect (fbc) and how they benefit YOU:

- Log into ANY site that uses fbc by using your Facebook ID (^_^)
- Choose privacy settings* - lets Facebook know if you want to post your actions to Facebook Wall
- Leave comments, reviews, or feedback (actions) on that site
- *Any actions taken show up on Facebook
- Find out what your friends are up to on the World Wide Web!

Essentially, its taking social networking to a new level. And with the Facebook massive online populos, this just might work.

For those of you NOT already familiar with Facebook (*scratching head), its numbers are quite impressive. With 100+ million users worldwide and a current valuation of $15 billion, its already being hailed as one of (if not) THE most popular social networks on the internet. They’ve got visitors. A lot of them. And advertisers just love, love, love it. And its popularity continues to grow…

The integration of Facebook Connect promises to follow in the Facebook track of success. With its millions of users, its a good first step in creating a universal internet. One simple login. Connecting you everywhere.

    Thanks for the tip-off. It sounds scary to me, like advertisers will be the ones watching what we are up to on all these other websites. I think I'll take a pass!
