What does that mean for you? Networking. Delicious networking.

Facebook Connect allows you to link your game, with all its scores and stats, to your Facebook account, which in turn lets you connect to other people who are playing the game. You'll be able to share your high score, see which friend is playing which game, and, as always, block your boss from seeing exactly what you're up to during work hours.

Facebook Connect for iPhone went live today, and several games are taking advantage (see the full list here]). Commence timewasting. [Facebook]

<![CDATA[You Can Now Comment on Gizmodo With Your Facebook Account]]> If you've always wanted to comment on Gizmodo but didn't want to sign up for yet another login, now you can comment using your Facebook account. Here's how.

First, go to any post that you want to comment in. Then, click the Facebook Connect button, enter your login and you're done. Your username will have a little Facebook 'F' logo so people will know you're a FB user as well.

The rules for commenting haven't changed, and you should familiarize yourself with our rules for commenting as well as Lifehacker's rules for commenting and io9's rules for commenting. Basically, no personal attacks, keep off topic stuff to a MINIMUM, no "First/Lame/How is this news/How is this a gadget", and no trolling. Use your best judgment; if you think something is going to get you banned or disemvoweled, it probably is. We're not going to be more lenient because you're on Facebook, and a dumb comment is still a dumb comment. But for people who want to share their Facebook identity with the rest of the commenters on Giz, this is an easy way to do so.

Thanks to Lifehacker!

<![CDATA[Facebook Connect for iPhone Will Links Apps to Your Facebook Account]]> At Facebook's annual f8 conference this afternoon it was revealed that iPhone app developers will be able to integrate apps with Facebook Connect—in other words, apps will be able to link up to and share data with your Facebook account, so your identity will be consistent and linked across apps through your Facebook account (and you won't have to create separate accounts for every app). Think of it like this:

The framework is expected to roll in the fall. As TechCrunch points out, Facebook's iPhone SDK indicates that mobile is a big part of their vision—so expect to see a lot more Facebook on your phone (and other gear) in the near future. Hope you're into oversharing! [TechCrunch]
