    After all the big 3 in social networking have announced that they will allow data from communities such as facebook to be portable to 3rd party sites......

    I wonder what will be possible for vanilla forums? I dont know enough about the pssibilities:

    For example: Will it be possible for example to allow people use their facebook logins to log into my installation of vanilla and post their stuff there? Could this be made possible with a vanilla plugin?

    What other possibilities do the developers here on this forum see for this?

    It might not be possible:
    The bigger downside of Friend Connect is that Websites using it cannot mash up the data with their own to make compelling new applications. Glazer confirmed that the data will be sent to third party sites via an iframe rather than directly through a set of APIs [From the techcrunch article ]
