techcrunch.com — "Facebook will announce Facebook Connect later today, which is essentially a new version of their 2 year old API for third party websites. It will allow users to “connect” their Facebook identity, friends and privacy to any website. One of their initial launch partners will be Digg."

Someday, people will be able to create one online account for all social networking, email, forums, and news aggregates-- say goodbye to the dozens of log-in screens, the future is transferable net-identities.

I gotta agree with everyone else who says they'd rather keep the two separate. I really hope digg makes the feature opt-in rather than opt-out. Personally, I think the Digg application on facebook is just about as much of a connection I want between the two sites.

If you're really afraid of that, you're a pussy and an egomaniac. The real reason you wouldn't wanna do that is, if you have a s**tpost here on digg, all of your IRL friends will see it and maybe they'll tease you about it. But there aren't very many people willing to kill/hurt/harm someone because they lost an Internet argument.

Users don't know what is good for them. Just like every woman's urge to be raped, everyone actually wants exposure. Wouldn't you like to show girls that you got +13 diggs? I look forward to being able to choose my friends IRL based on how witty their comments are on the tubes.

Wow. Facebook, Myspace and meme all right here for my reading pleasure. What more could you ask for?

Buried for an inaccurate title; Facebook's Connect is not being launched in response to MySpace's similar service. That would take months to "respond" to, and many tech blogs have already stated quoted Facebook insiders as stating that it was not a response to MySpace.Plus, no one really cares.
