Business time is now

As the Facebook economy expands with over 80,000 sites currently using Facebook connect and more than 350 million users, now is time for Facebook to monetize its product. This move is part of its business strategy to become profitable. In yesterdays valuation, Facebook has been estimated to be worth $14 billion. This means that, fun times are over its time to do business.

How it works

This service is not automatic as it ask you to allow implementing application to contact you via email. You can as well withdraw your approval. Treat all application as you would any website you visit. The days of privacy are numbered so as we watch it fade out, control you online persona!
