Inside Facebook

For developers interested in integrating Facebook Connect support for their web, iPhone, or desktop apps, Facebook has announced that the signup process is now open. Interested developers can head over to the submission page and request that Facebook activate your Facebook Connect-enabled service.

However, this doesn’t mean that all requests will be approved - that is still coming at some point in the future. (Some have speculated that that will happen by November 30, but a full November launch looks unlikely at this point.) Facebook says, “As we continue to see developers produce great user experiences, we intend to open this process more widely so that you can build and launch without an approval process.”
