Facebook Connect Helps Website Owners Create an Online Community August 10, 2009
Zowbie Consulting as a firm, believes in social media and realizes the potential revenue that it can produce for a business when it is used and implemented properly. Facebook Connect is an application that allows website owners the ability to tap into the already existing online community of Facebook users and create their own social network within their own website. Facebook connect allows websites, software, and even mobile devices to integrate with Facebook and send information both ways.

A short list of the benefits of Facebook Connect include:
- Build a community with just one click!
- Login using your Facebook account
- Send comments and share articles to Facebook profile feed
- Invite your friends to the website’s community
- See last visitors with a short bio and link to Facebook profile
- Sign up for a website account without having to create an account; instead using your Facebook login info
I really like the idea of building a community within your website and Facebook Connect makes this easy with just one click of a button. An additional feature which I love is the ease of which a website visitor using Facebook Connect is able to promote your website to their Facebook friends by sharing an article with friends on their wall or inviting them to join your site’s online community.
