MJ: You have implemented Facebook Connect onto clients sites, would you say that it was a difficult process? I am using Google Blogger is that a platform you have experience with configuring?

MJ: I think it’s intended to work that way.

We’ve implemented Facebook Connect on a couple of clients sites.

Pros:
It’s very exciting to see regular websites come alive with photos, names, and friends. Not to mention the ability to post feed data back to Facebook. I think these standard websites have alot to gain by implementing FBC.

Cons:
Working out the details of how FBC plays nicely with your existing User models can be tricky.
(Also say goodbye to collecting user email addresses because FBC doesn’t want you to do that, therefore you start to become dependent on FBC)

Additionally the login/logout process appears to be global, meaning when you logout of an FBC website it also logs you out of FB as well. Not sure if it was intended to work that way or just a ‘feature’?
