Why I’ll use Facebook connect
December 1st, 2008 | by kilps |As Techcrunch reports, Facebook Connect is going live soon. I’ve written before about how I think decentralised social networking is the future – and this is obviously counter to that. Single propietry login provider? No thank you.
Yet I can see how this will fit perfectly into one of my ongoing projects – and so I’ll use it, because it will make life easier for my users and drive traffic. But as I compromise I’ll say here that I will never force users to use a third party sign in provider and that when using one third party provider I will support OpenID. Principled Compromise? Should I not care? It’s good enough for me.
