A type of
data portability technology that
enables users of the
social networking
site (SNS)
Facebook to connect their Facebook
account with any partner Web site using a trusted authentication method. Using
Facebook Connect, members will be able to use their Facebook identity across the
Web, including profile photos, name, friends, groups, events, and more. Facebook
Connect also uses what the company calls "dynamic security" which ensures the
privacy setting you use will also be used on the third-party Web sites.

Networking Sites" in the Quick
