    If you go to your CitySearch profile, you can see your FB friends and the reviews they've written: http://my.beta.citysearch.com/members/profile

    This concept will kill sites like friendfeed and other aggregation sites

    Eric,

    For the institutions we've been working with, the friend interaction feature isn't as important as bringing site activity back into the Facebook news feed "conversation." Our clients are seeing this as a win-win even with only single signon and newsfeed propagation - users don't have to remember lots of credentials and when they take action on a site it shows up in Facebook. Every client we've shown Connect to, wants it and wants it now.

    Makes sense. Any examples of companies and metrics showing their success with it so far?

    Eric, excellent title here and I agree with your conclusion 100%: Facebook will be mostly appealing to websites because of the additional (and powerful) distribution channel it will offer and I think the webmasters will just need some time to see what functionality they are really willing to offer to their visitors and but no one will want to refuse the free marketing on Facebook.

    "post information about your activities on other sites back to Facebook’s home site" Yeah, wonderful LOL Good try to stay alive at the expense of others (itysearch, CNET and TheInsider.com by CBS Interactive, CNN.com/Forum, ConnectedWeddings, Gawker, Global Grind, Govit, Howcast, IndieGoGo, Inside Facebook, Joost, MoveOn, MyBarackObama, Newsbrane, Red Bull, SGN iFun, SFGate, TechCrunch, TripAdvisor, Yammer, Vimeo, VLane, and Xobni what you were thinking about?) FB is in agony. ROFL

    I'm running FB Connect on my site!

    Comments can be published to News Feed. We have community features (i.e. view FB friends on the site) but they're a little buggy. The link is:
