Like a promotional movie site. I just want to see the trailer and leave. What is the point of logging in and then viewing the trailer? Then again I'm probably missing the point since promotional sites are all about raising awareness about some product so getting access to my friends list is the whole point of the site and facebook just streamlines the process.
- look_lookatme 17y agoThis is a huge deal in, say, online publishing because people will openly share their favorite articles and comments. Furthermore certain kinds of events can be considered "share worthy" and thus be pushed into your friends News Feed by the site in question. Lets say you "recommend" a trailer using the tools on the site -- this is a feature on the site itself, but it can map quite easily to being a new feed worthy item and if you granted the trailer site sufficient permissions when you linked up your FB account via connect, it can push that recommendation into FB without you actually sharing anything explicitly to facebook. Once inside FB, this sharing of content/events can hitch a ride on the network effect and create a fair amount of incoming traffic. College networks on facebook are really good for this... links to goofy memes, sports articles or political articles can really move through facebook fast. You might have grown up using "email this article" features on sites like the nytimes, but there are a whole lot of people out there using facebook to accomplish the same thing now.
- dasil003 17y agohere is one of the coolest FB connect promotions I've seen yet: http://www.imheremovie.com/ http://www.imheremovie.com/ It's not just the trailer either, it's the whole movie, but checkout the experience, and hopefully you have some people you don't mind inviting, because that actually enhances it.
