Summary

Soon, anyone with a Facebook account will soon be able to use it as login for micro-blogging service Twitter, we've learned.

Serious? Ok, so combine that with the fact that Google just announced Twitter is coming to Google Connect. Does that mean you can use that as a workaround to login to Google Connect using your Facebook account??? :)

I think you can only link Friend Connect and #Twitter after signing in with existing Friend Connect Id.

Does anyone else think all the Connects are just going to make stuff 99X more complicated?

I think we ought to look at connect services in their component parts - Signon, profle and friend list. It would great to be able to signon with any connect service (=openID)- be able to choose a profile to use (this would allow different profiles for specific sites)- and then choose which group of friends to bring along.

Could FB Connect / Google Connect be a boon or a bust for the LinkedIns and XINGs...?

I like all of this interaction. I do dislike cramming my sidebar with so many community widgets. But the idea of connecting everything is great.

There should be just one "Connect" service... actually there is one already. How about OpenID? I'm not signing on to any of them yet. Let's see who will win the battle of the connects here... Is it feasible to think that Google and Facebook might be merging together someday?
