Connect is revolutionizing the web
“It is an ingenious stab at solving several nagging problems at once. Web surfers like to socialize while they browse the internet, but many prefer to do so only with their friends rather than with perfect strangers.”
- Dec 4, 2008
“Because Facebook Connect is not just a registration system, but also a marketing channel with a built-in audience of 130 million monthly active users, this program will crush competing registration systems.”
- Nov 30, 2008
What sites are seeing:• Registrations 30-100%• User-generated content 15-60%• Each story published to FB generates 0.5 to 2 clicks back to
the publishing site
“Supporters of this idea say such programs will help with the emergence of a new ‘social Web,’ because chatter among friends will infiltrate even sites that have been entirely unsociable thus far.”
