Facebook Connect Now Live On Digg

  • Hey, this digg connect seems odd! When i connect it says there is already a digg account with same email id.


    That means facebook sharing email id of the user! FB entered into some special agreement with digg. Did fb made money out of our emails?

  • Not at all. Facebook Connect allows application developers to match existing accounts by email hashes *only*. The actual email address is never shared, but a one way hash can be matched so that an FBC application can recognize the user only if they already have previous knowledge of that user’s email address.


    The hashes are described in the API’s Connect.registerUsers() method, which you can view here: http://wiki.dev...t.registerUsers


    Cheers,
