Since Friday, prompts for Facebook Connect have started to appear on websites across the internet, enabling those with a Facebook profile to import their profile and friends to participating sites including CitySearch and Digg.

This means Facebook fans don't have to remember another user name and password, according to an article in
The Guardian detailing the scheme, and users can publish what they do on Digg, say, back to their mates on Facebook.

Obviously this saves users time and sites are keen to participate because it will drive traffic to them - Facebook has over 100 million active users. On the other hand, given the size of the beast, it would be quite easy for smaller sites to end up feeling like a Facebook satellite.
