Facebook Connect

I have decided to use Facebook Connect on this blog, instead of my previous usage of Google Friend Connect.  There are a few reasons that I am making this switch.

• I was never impressed with Google Friend Connect’s social features.  Google Friend Connect doesn’t have a concept of a “friend activity feed”.  So there is no way to see in an aggregated list of my contact’s activities. With Facebook Connect, comment activities appear in the Facebook News Feed
• Google Friend Connect’s comment system requires Javascript, which is not compatible with all browsers.  Facebook Connect, with the WordPress plugin, the comments are still process in the normally, but there just is an addition step for publishing the status item.

This page has good instructions about setting up Facebook Connect for WordPress.
