Unlike with OpenID, Facebook Connect put the power of the social web into the hands of one company. One private company.
-
user privacy on Facebook seemed always seemed to be an afterthought.

The picture of Mark at the beginning of this article, with a million logos behind him, in a pose that suggests, "Heh isn't this great!" matches the undirected growth style of the platform.

Rem PalpittAs Facebook Connect grows and is adopted by more sites, it will push your social graph to the far corners of the web, out to places where it doesn't even exist today - that is, places like the corporate web sites whose own attempts at creating social networks of their own were a waste of money. These businesses never needed a social network - they need to tap into your social graph and Facebook Connect gives them the power to do so.
