Facebook is considering taking a big leap into the bigger cyberspace as its Connect service will allow you to log in other websites and go live with your Facebook account.
If you have already logged on to Facebook, you can also log in to online celebrity rag of CBS just with a single click.
Now you can invite your friends to join you browsing stories about fabulous parenting skills of Jada Pinkett Smith or a real scary-looking Gary Colemans’ driving problems. The fun never ends here as you can also easily post any bitchy comments you make on other sites.
Turly speaking, the Insider has little to detain any wise adult for long, but it shows how Web 2.0 sites are continually expanding to survive. You must expect some more interesting sites very soon that would extract info and photos from your Facebook page (with your permission) and would use it at other online destinations.
According to TechCrunch, the Facebook Connect would replace the usual and advert-heavy Beacon service that is often criticized for helping itself with personal information of Facebook users whenever it gets an opportunity.
No doubt, the new service promises a lot but a one look at its terribly designed profile pages on The Insider enough to reveal how things become bad to worse once you allow your social networking genie out of bottle.

September 25th, 2008I would be extremely concerned with privacy issues using this service. Facebook already has had to deal with these issues in the past. I think they are asking for further problems by this type of expansion. I do agree that social networking sites must expand their offerings to distinguish themselves from the ever growing pack these days but I don’t think this is the way to do it.
