Facebook Connect

    Hey, everyone now is using Facebook and it is now integrated with many websites. Shouldn't we all bring it to WordPress.com? Let users post comments and do many thing using their Facebook credentials. It will open up to many other opportunities. Moreover, since we could integrate openID, why not Facebook?

    WP.com is doing a great job with Twitter, now make it better!

    I totally agree with you Junje.
    Websites such as WordPress.comthat miss out on this great piece of functionality will get left behind as users will move to sites that utilise FBConnect.
    I am very surprised that it isn't in place already!!!

    I agree, FB connect... as well as google login credentials.

    Google logins? Are proprietary to Google, which owns Blogger, which is why they work there. I very much doubt Google will let its biggest rival use its credentials.

    With all the flash apps in FB, linking to wordpress is problably pretty unlikely.

    Chiming in – I'm also hoping that you'll make a FB Connect widget for WordPress.com blogs soon!

    Man I hate to sound stupid but Facebook provides HTML code for some kind of "Badge" thing. I'm not sure how this differs from what is being requested here. ???

    I believe he wants to be able for people to login in to comment with their FB ID. Kind of like openID. I don't particularly care if its added.

    I never added the badge thing because, while I may want my family and friends on facebook to come to visit my blog (which is taken care of on that end), I'm not so sure I want to invite random people who stumble upon my blog into my facebook realm.

    I don't think it's meant to have people add or not to your friend thingy on FB. The badge is another thing but I believe they're talking about something different, especially since you can add the badge already to your blog. I like to keep friends and family out of my FB & blogging realm, I only have a select few online friends for FB since I'm not on there a lot anyways.

    If facebook would use Open ID (open source) then it might have a chance. They however, are currently using their own proprietary client to connect and it is more difficult. I am a little torn personally on this functionality without using Open ID which wp.com already has.

    I'm all for it especially if it can helps our blogs become popular.

    Facebook provides a script when you click "Add a fanspace to your website" (roughly translated from french) from an artist page, or product page, etc. Wouldn't it be possible to WordPress programmers to include this script in a widget? This would easily secure the whole process of getting this nice plugin on our blogs.

    Thanks!

  28. amanfrommoab

    Yes... A great idea

  29. raincoaster

    That last suggestion, from krapo, is easily done using a text widget and a link to your Fan page.
