Facebook Connect came out on the 23rd of this month, and is a much modified and improved version of the notorious Facebook Beacon.

It allows external sites to authenticate a user and share detailed information including friendships, albums and personal profiles through facebook.

It is facebooks alternative to OpenSocial (and a little bit of OpenID), and it is going to be huge!

If you want a Facebook Connect application, or a Facebook application written in Ruby on Rails or Merb, give us a call.
