Comments on: CNET goes live with Facebook Connect

Now you can log in to CNET with your Facebook ID.

Very cool. I'd like to implement something like this for our charities website to assist in family linking for parents with disabled children. But, is signing in with my Facebook account AND creating a log-in on cnet really necessary?

Congrats CNET! We're excited to have you on board!

And the only thing that worries me is that our new Facebook commenters can only manage one sentence "awesome" type comments.

... As opposed to the deep, meaningful discussions we normally see on the relative merits of Apple v. Microsoft ...

Oh. In that case ... Facebook Connect rocks! Awesome!

Just created my CNET account using the Facebook Connect option. I read CNET since years but never took the time to create another username/password account for CNET. Now it's done.

Just quick and straightforward. Nice integration!

I used FB Connect to log in and post a comment. We'll see how this thing works.

Congrats to the CNET team. This was easy - and I'll start reading Rafe and commenting more often now!

[thatguy64]

why still display cnet usernames and no profile pics?

[StECbines]

Awesome let's give this a go!

[Pollinger1]

this is really cool. (full disclosure: FB employee)

[dimsmum321]

Wow. That was easy.

Great implementation with Facebook, but I'd still like to see more control of my profile on the CNet site. Very confusing, and difficult to understand how to make profile changes. Can I add a photo? Can I change my username?

It didn't ask me if I wanted to connect an existing Cnet user account. I also can't figure out where to prevent comments from being posted on Facebook. Does Cnet have a help page for this functionality?

Love the account interstitial.
