Slightly off topic, but I''m exploring FB connect integration with my rails site. Right now I have an application with a User model, and that user model links to all of my other models, such as comments, votes, etc. As I understand it, FB connect lets users log in without having to log in to my site. So what do I do, just create a pseudo user for each facebook connect login? Alternatively, can I / should I have existing users associate their FB accounts with my site''s user accounts? If two users log in to my site using only FB connect, and they''re friends on FB, is there any way for me to tell that? Thanks for any advice/input.

Thanks Conrad. I''m still confused though. I have a model called User that has the following: has_many :comments Now, when my user logs in and leaves a comment, I say something like comment = Comment.new ... user.comments << comment Now, suppose a Facebook user authenticates with FB connect. Now what? How do I keep track of this users comments? I''ve read both of those links but they don''t really address how you treat a facebook user as a data point in your site.

I''m getting closer to an answer, I found this link which talks about linking accounts (your users and facebook users): http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Account_Linking If I get this working, I''ll post an update.
