Dave McClure on Facebook Connect
Dave calls Facebook Connect the Second Age of Aquarius - "More importantly social networks don't just have lots of user profile data, they also have functional Friend Lists (with pictures); their users are now socialized and familiar with invitation behavior, and this enables easy viral distribution of content & applications. thus, it's not Single Sign-on, it's Social Sign-on."
