Facebook Connect. Thoughts from YC community?

2 pointslyime2 comments

Kinda weird... Haven't seen any discussion about this. Personally I am pretty stocked about it. I know its not anything new, there is OpenID and what not. Although, I really like the facebook implementation. I think it will really help startups/companies in all fronts, easy implementation, support, security, data portability and even generate marketing.

Thoughts?

Facebook connect ??? (I didn't know) you can read more here: http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/05/09/facebook-responds-to-my...

Is it going to be built on open standards though? I think that's an important differentiator.
