Here's a deck I published with Shiv Singh on the potential of Facebook Connect. Let me know what you think of it. - Jesse Pickard
I saw it via factoryjoe; I was writing a short post about fb connect today and came up with the same conclusions (the risks). In particular: what if FB blocks or shuts down your account, what if you used connect to sign up with other services? bye bye everything? I dont really like a closed approach to this stuff: the identity is mine, not fb's. - Andre
I have a question. If I add facebook connect to my site, will facebook share informacion with me about users that use that longin or comments? - matiasjajaja
Imagine the potential if it would use open standards and you wouldn't have that lock-in ;-) Then it would be HUGE! Do you want to be part of the FB TOS when you use FB connect? do you want even FB to dictate how you display this button? - Christian Scholz
The real Facebook lock-in strategy is emerging. Lets see what MySpace does to counter this. - Marc Canter
only an open standard for profiles will work - totally open so your profile can live on any service you choose (even one you run yourself) and stay in sync with all services you use. That way you keep your key data in your control. A bit like FOAF, or what openid/open social could really become one day - Joelle Nebbe
here's the post I ended up writing about this! http://www.readwriteweb.com/ar... - Marshall Kirkpatrick
Alright, I'm moving FB Connect up a notch or two on my priority list. - Scott
