Basically the only info i can grab is your name, profile picture, and list of friends (so you can invite them). Apparently more information if going to be made available in the future through the API. When someone signs in from FB connect, we check the wordpress DB to see if you are already registered. If not you are automatically registered and your data is inserted from Facebook into the wordpress DB. Each user then has a 'profile' page which is pulling data from both this wordpress database and Facebook (so that i show your correct profile picture and name for example). E.g your profile can be found at... http://www.chewie.co.uk/?fbconnect_action=myhome&fbuserid=533072467 In the future i would like to hack that page to also show what your friends have commented on, however since my blog is still quite small you probably wont have many friends commenting. On a site like Digg or so, it would be a valuable way to show the users what their friends are up to on the site and maybe raise participation levels. Hope that answers some questions :) hey Ollie,

btw Chewie – what information can you see of people logging in via facebook?
