Facebook recently announced its Connect program, and we at Mobicules are really excited about the possibilites. There is already a good amount of buzz about Facebook Connect, and we’re talking to a few of our clients about how this can fit into their scheme of things, and can make their web applications more useful and more “sticky”.What Facebook Connect does is, it allows users to connect their Facebook profiles, friends and privacy rules to any site.

What that would mean is that a website which was not social until now, would suddenly come alive, with the user’s Facebook Social Graph being instantly available on the website. It looks like a lot of privileges available to Facebook Application Developers till now would now also be available to stand-alone websites.

 We think this is a very sensible balance between
    (a) Developing a stand-alone website, attracting users, getting them to invite friends and get them all engaged, and
    (b)Developing an app for Facebook that can use Facebook’s features and data, but now has no independent presence.This is going to make a lot of sense to a lot of people.

We’re eager to start working with our clients on this.
