So there’s something incredibly cool that I’m really happy to have been able to integrate on this site. Like most blogs, under each post there’s a place where you can put in your information and leave a comment, but what’s even cooler is a little thing called Facebook Connect. So next time you go to comment on one of my posts (and you’ll see this being used on a lot of other websites pretty soon) there’ll be a small, blue Facebook button that says ‘Connect’:
When you click on that, you’ll be be presented with a box where you can login with your Facebook login information or if you’re already logged into Facebook it’ll just ask you if you’d like to link it to this site. It’ll look like this:
Once you’ve logged in, your Facebook profile picture will appear by your post and if you so choose, once you’ve commented on my blog, the activity will show up in your Facebook News Feed! Pretty cool, huh?
If you have any question on how it works, you always know you can ask me. If you want to learn more about Facebook Connect just go to http://developers.facebook.com/connect.php.
Cheers!

Okay, trying this again… I was saying that you should start tagging and categorizing your posts.
how did you get this?
The best part about Facebook Connect is that your face shows up as the icon in my news feed.
I’m looking forward to this application, especially since I will be able to use it as a universal password manager and not have over 50 user names and passwords!
So will it have a feature that connects you with hot chicks?
Dude, it’s already activated! Just click on the blue button that says “Connect” instead of putting in your other info :)
So is edisoncruz.com the first site to ever use the Facebook Connect app? I see history in the making!
Haha, definitely not. Connect is incredible and receiving a lot of much deserve media coverage across the globe :) Check out:

This’ll give you a bunch of the awesome articles from the last couple weeks about Connect :)
You’re ridiculous! I can’t believe I just connected to edisoncruz.com with my facebook account. Think facebook will come out w/ a Universal credit card soon? Connecting all of your purchases and travels.
As always, Facebook is going to need to pay close attention to privacy issues and how users respond to the innovation. I think they learned their lesson with Beacon, but still a very gray line that is being approached. Should be very interesting to see what comes of all this.
