La Netscouande, a French internet agency, has released the first version of a Facebook Connect plugin for Drupal. I have a feeling that this is going to obtain a lot of traction. This is one of the first content platforms aside from Wordpress that has an easy to use Connect module. As far as I can tell it enables basic login/authorization capabilities via the module.
With this announcement, the number of Facebook Connect implementations will most definitely jump over the coming weeks. Drupal is one of the most popular open-source content management systems on the web. While I’ve developed Drupal sites in the past, I haven’t had the opportunity to implement this service myself so I’m not sure how easy to use it actually is for developers.
Back in 2007 I wrote about Drupal for the Facebook platform but since then it appears as though the project was put on hold. Now Drupal enthusiasts have an easy way to implement their service outside of Facebook without having to deal with all the Facebook platform intricacies. The Facebook Wordpress widget has most definitely experienced widespread usage and I can only assume this will experience the same success.
If you wish to implement Facebook Connect for Druapl, go check out the module download page. Do you use Drupal at all? Will you be implementing the service?

My client uses Drupal for the social network and so far it works really well. I am eager to get this Facebook Connect Plugin installed by our developers. I’ll let you know how it goes.
I’ve been wracking my brain trying to figure out how to add this functionality to a project I’m working on. It’s exactly what I needed. I think you are right that we will start seeing the number of Facebook connect implementations jump as this module gets more popular.
I am very excited to try this on my site as well.
