This is more javascript. However, I have been playing around with facebook connect on a website I am coding for and it is kind of a cool feature. The documentation is tough to read, but the functionality itself is pretty cool. Anyone else try this out?

Thanks Michael. I had a chance to try it out and it was pretty neat. I now can have users change their status and add line items to their facebook page from my site. It wasn't too bad to code either.
