Maybe you have no idea what Facebook Connect is...well here are a few points

Facebook Connect is the next evolution of Facebook Platform -- enabling you to integrate the power of Facebook Platform into your own site.

As a developer, you can add social context to your site in four main ways:

* Identity. Seamlessly connect the user's Facebook account and information with your site
* Friends. Bring a user's Facebook friends into your site. You can even link friends that have existing accounts.
* Discovery. Publish information back into their friends' News Feeds on Facebook.
* Privacy. Bring dynamic privacy to your site using XFBML.

Additionally, Facebook Connect brings the full power and flexibility of Facebook Platform, including the REST API and FQL.
