FIRST Facebook Application

[mwtidd]

I am planning on using facebook connect as the identity system for my new extension to the blue alliance.

I realize that some people in the FIRST community like to keep their FIRST lives and Facebook lives separate (me being one of them), and am wondering what people think about using facebook connect to login to a FIRST related application and website.

I am also trying to determine how closely I would want to intertwine my application to facebook. Integration with facebook could be very weak (getting your basic information like hometown, profile pic, name...) or it could be strong (loading pictures to your account, creating and rsvping to FIRST facebook events).

The stronger ties would be helpful to FIRST as I could help people invite others to FIRST competitions, however I understand it is a double edges sword.

Also it would be possible to support both types of accounts(strong and weak) depending on how you wanted to use the app. I am just wondering about peoples opinions on their FIRST lives and Facebook lives.
