Facebook Connect, One Year Later

Exactly one year ago, Facebook officially opened up Connect for all developers, and one year later, Facebook’s identity service is in the lead, rivaled only by Google and Twitter both of which have much smaller representations of the global social graph. Since launch, the company has generated a ton of buzz for the still young service and millions of users have registered for sites using Facebook Connect. While it has yet to become the standard online identity service, there are very few formidable competitors.
