Facebook Connect is now integrated into Gutensite's account system. You can allow all your customers to create accounts on your site, with the click of a button, by importing their basic information from Facebook. This can greatly increase your conversion numbers, by making it super easy to join your website. If they are already logged into Facebook, they will immediately be logged into your site as well. You can also take advantage of Facebook's many social features which can make your website more interactive and viral. It's good for business and it's good for your customers.
When someone uses Facebook Connect on your site, we create a local account that is synced with their Facebook account, so you have all the data locally. Even if they decide they don't want to use Facebook anymore, they can continue using your site. If they already have a local account, they can make future logins more easy by going to their account settings and clicking the button that says "Sync with Facebook".
Right now, Gutensite's account integration with Facebook is limited to account creation and sign-in. But there are lots of other features that you can add to your site, e.g. publish announcements to someone's wall (so all their friends know about it), choose a list of friends to invite to come use your service, access photos and videos, access personal information like birthdays, interests, education, work history, etc. If you want to take advantage of these extra features, let us know and we can create a special project to implement these features with your website.
