How would you propose going about if they are an audience to the facebook platform?

Would you use facebook connect to register for a website which gives you free bitcoins?

Or would you prefer the website have it's own registration process?

Well I personally hate creating new accounts, but though Facebook....? Ehhhhh.....


If you are asking if it will be successful? Go for it. It will. I personally don't like it, but the fact is that it will generate new users effectively.

Why not Google Authentication? Sure they do the same data mining as Facebook, but I do trust them more.

Some of you just do NOT seem to be able to get past your hatred of all things Facebook. And I suppose that's fine, but at some point there's going to have to be a Bitcoin presence on Facebook. There's no other good way to reach that crowd, and that crowd are the ones who Bitcoin is ultimately going to have to bring on board if the currency is to be successful.

The Facebook userbase != the Facebook platform.  Creating a presence on Facebook is far far different than allowing Facebook to auth every connection to your highly secure bitcoin trading/retail/information site.
