Using Facebook Connect, MT automatically displays a commenter's Facebook user name and photo next to their comments. Then, Movable Type automatically lets all of a commenter's friends on Facebook know about the comment via the mini-feed on that commenter's Facebook profile. This helps to drive traffic to your blog -- and your content -- not just from your community, but from the social network of everyone who participates on your site.
And Facebook Connect joins a range of other authentication options which use OpenID to allow commenters to sign in on your Movable Type site. From Google to Yahoo, AOL to LiveJournal to WordPress, or even our own Vox and TypePad services, almost any popular service can be used as a sign-in option on your site. If you just want to see these cool sign-in options in action, check out the Motion demo site for a live example.
Important: please be sure to review the read me file included with the file since you will need to create a Facebook app in order for the authentication and transmission of comments to Facebook to work properly.
