Facebook Connect gets easier

12 October 2009 + 0 ,

Fast Company reports:

It’s releasing the Facebook Connect Wizard–to make it easier to use Facebook to add “social context to any site.” Using the Wizard means it’s now a quick, simple, and relatively painless three-step process to integrate Connect in your site. You enter some site ID details into the Wizard, download the special code Facebook’s development engine presents to you, and plop it into your site’s web code. Amazingly simple.

Excellent news as Facebook Connect offers some real benefits to commenters (no need to mess around with separate gravatars and logins) and to those running sites (spreading news of the site via commenters’ Facebook walls and getting richer information about comments displayed on the site). May even sort out on this site soon :-)
