Overview
Facebook Connect is a system that allows any user with a Facebook account to join your site easily with just one single click. It saves your visitor the hassle of registering to yet another site and maintaining another username and password. With this system, your site can easily verify the identity of your site visitor and log them into your site easily.
Video tutorial
Facebook Connect delivers a number of benefits, including:
- Traffic - Enable over a billion Facebook users to share your content with their friends on Facebook. Let users publish a story, invite their friends, or send an event. Their friends can then click to visit your site.
- Engagement - Users can immediately find their friends and engage. More friends leads to more activity and more page views. Connected users create 15-60% more content than users who have not connected with Facebook Connect.
