Why You Should Facebook Connect
When we rolled out our new payments system at the beginning of the week, we also included a nifty new feature called Facebook Connect.
Facebook Connect lets you log in to both your Quirky and Facebook accounts with a single click, making it easier to stay connected on both networks without fussing with multiple passwords.
To get started with Facebook Connect, you first have to grant Quirky the necessary privacy permissions, which you can do by clicking on the Facebook link in your My Account page. When you’re done, refresh that page to set your Facebook notifications preferences. Note that your preference selections will not be valid until you have granted Quirky the appropriate permissions.
Once you have completed this step, you will be able to select which of the following notifications will be published on your Facebook feed:
When you post a comment
When you submit an idea
When you win a project
When you buy a product
When you earn money
Publicizing these actions allows you to utilize your existing network to drum up support for submitted ideas, generate social sales, earn money from registration referrals, and more. All clicks to the site through your Facebook page are attributed to your unique referral link, which means that you get credit when one of your friends takes action… without lifting a finger! When you think about it, there’s really no reason not to Facebook Connect.
