[OpenID] Access Facebook Connect through OpenID?

[John Bradley]

There are two versions of Facebook connect.

If you want OAuth 2.0 the new version with the Graph API is what you want.

On the other hand the old version is much more widely deployed at this point.

It is likely that a open protocol on top of OAuth for identity will emerge that will work with Facebook.

However at this point you will need to implement both protocols.

A big difference will be in how you deal with the user identifiers.

If you want FBML and other facebookish things on your site you will need to implement there protocol.
