NEW FEATURE: Facebook and Mahalo Answers connectivity coming tomorrow.

Starting tomorrow Facebook users will be able to login into Mahalo Answers, and existing Mahalo Answers users will be able to connect their accounts.

Here is how it will work:

1. When you login you'll see the Connect with Facebook button.

2. If you click the button and you're logged into Facebook you'll get an informational screen from Facebook like this:

3. If you already have a Mahalo Account you will have the option to link it (or you can just login as a Facebook user):

3. What other features would you like to see added?

Very cool. Can't wait to see how users implement this! What's next!

I am ashamed to say, I only log into Facebook about once a week. Too many "here's a dorky beer/cocktail" apps and junky stuff like MySpace.

As far as suggestions, my mind is drawing a blank. Ummm.

Thanks dev team!

Great! I use Facebook so it will be easier now to send questions. I think that this new feature will definitely be a way of increasing the popularity on Mahalo Answers.

Your logo idea is simple - but I still love my aeroplanes one! I think that because you have helped do this feature - Mahalo is going to become even bigger and greater and far more popular.

Wait what happened with this:

http://www.mahalo.com/answers/technology-and-internet/what-do-you-think-of-facebook-framing-aka-hijacking-other-websites-when-you-leave-their-domain

So is Mahalo now going to be involved with facebook on hijacking sites?

I am not sure what you mean? We are allowing people to connect their profiles, this has nothing to do with Mahalo "hijacking" websites

JeffHoard I was just going with JasonCalacanis comments on his link I posted about facebook hijacking sites and figured if Mahalo was tied in with facebook that maybe Mahalo also could be blamed for sites being hijacked. Sorry if there was any misunderstandings.

I log into Facebook every other day or so, but I think this will expand our user base considerably.

Yes!

One thing that keeps me from using the various accounts I have across the web is my inability to remember so many logins and passwords. I go to facebook about 10 times a day, so I usually have already logged in before I visit other sites.

Facebook Connect is really easy to use, and because of that I find myself engaging more with websites that implement it.

Thanks for the good news.

Thanks for improving on Mahalo Answers:

I still think the idea I gave 6 days ago is a good one:

"It would be great if a Mahalo Answers facebook application would show, in my facebook homepage, unanswered questions related to my facebook Interestes, Fav Movies, Fav Music, or other attributes associated to my facebook account.

For example, I log into my facebook homepage and there is one question about the movie "Donnie Darko" because I have set that Movie as my favorite movie. Or I get a question about good place to eat in San Diego because that is the location I have set on my facebook profile.

The question may be displayed something like:
Because one of your favorite movies is "Donnie Darko", we thought you might have an answer to the following question: "Does anybody know the meaning of the movie "Donnie Darko"? - Of course, I would be able to answer the question form my facebook homepage."
