77Lab launches Facebook Connect
Posted by Manuela Barreto @ January 12th, 2009 in Social Marketing
On one of our previous posts we introduced Facebook Connect, Facebook’s new feature that allows users to use their Facebook identity to access third party websites, plus share their online experience with friends and colleagues all over the Web.
Today, 77Lab has launched Facebook Connect taking the social networking experience one step beyond.
For example, you can use Facebook Connect with our 77Lab by logging in using your Facebook Id, and from there, you’ll be able to interact with all of your Facebook friends.
While ‘connected’, your friends will be able to see the same profile information you have on Facebook which is entirely modifiable by using your account and privacy settings. If you decide to leave a comment, review or vote on a post, your actions will be published on your Facebook profile in the mini-feed for your friends to see.
This way your friends can easily track you down, keeping up with your daily Internet activities and picking up on all your favorites sites, blogs, reviews, recommendations and news sources.
In the end, Facebook Connect will be easier for you to share and connect with your friends across the Web. To find and install the Facebook Connect plug-in into your blog or website, visit Sociable! The Social Media Blog.
Here are some key privacy features of Facebook Connect straight from their blog post:
Trusted Authentication
Users will be able to connect their Facebook account with any partner website using a trusted authentication method. Whether at login, or anywhere else a developer would like to add social context, the user will be able to authenticate and connect their account in a trusted environment. The user will have total control of the permissions granted.
Real Identity
Facebook users represent themselves with their real names and real identities. With Facebook Connect, users can bring their real identity information with them wherever they go on the Web, including: basic profile information, profile picture, name, friends, photos, events, groups, and more.
Friends Access
Users count on Facebook to stay connected to their friends and family. With Facebook Connect, users can take their friends with them wherever they go on the Web. Developers will be able to add rich social context to their websites. Developers will even be able to dynamically show which of their Facebook friends already have accounts on their sites.
Dynamic Privacy
As a user moves around the open Web, their privacy settings will follow, ensuring that users’ information and privacy rules are always up-to-date. For example, if a user changes their profile picture, or removes a friend connection, this will be automatically updated in the external website.
We invite you to try it out! Become part of our 77Community!
