2Contenders Gets Facebook Connect

We have been fighting with integration facebook connect into 2contenders now for the better part of 2 weeks.   I am happy to announce that the changes have gone live.  While we are still shaking out some of the bugs the new features are great.   Now when you hit 2contenders you can create a local account or sign up using your facebook information.    If you already had a local account you can still click the facebook connect and link your local and facebook accounts.  This will enable you to use all the features on the site.   Below is a list of the new Facebook Connect features.

• Publish New Battles To Facebook
• Publish New Comments To Facebook
• Publish Ratings To Facebook
• Publish Voting To Facebook 

One of the best features is that each post must be confirmed by you.  While this sounds like it might become a pain, we have found this is a nice option.  While all services can be truned on or off from your profile sometimes you don't want things to be shared and this will allow you to control the information flow without causing to much of an interruption in service.   

Finally for the developers in us, we have learned a couple of things during this process and we will be sharing more blog posts about technical stuff in the next couple of posts.   But for now, we are just happy it we got this promoted. 

Next Up:  Twitter Integration
