Log in and discover friends using Facebook Connect
We just took our our Facebook Connect implementation a step further by enabling two great new features:
Log in using your Facebook account
You can now log in using your Facebook account. This means anyone with a Facebook account can log in to Brightkite with absolute ease. With a few clicks, you can start sharing your location, commenting on posts, posting notes and photos, etc …and it even allows new visitors to bypass sign up.
Discover your Facebook friends already on Brightkite
In addition to discovering friends via Gmail, Twitter and Yahoo, we’ve added the ability to discover friends via Facebook. This allows you to easily extend your social circle and combine the power of location with your established network of Facebook friends. To discover friends already on Brightkite and invite others to join visit Discover & Invite Friends.
Keep watch for more Facebook Connect additions over the coming months. Have ideas or suggestions pertaining to our implementation of Facebook Connect? Let us know.

Too bad this doesn't work for the Facebook elite….I simply get this message when I try to connect to my facebook, which has 5,000 friends: "Ouch, something went wrong!
We've been notified of the problem and will fix it as soon as possible."
It would be nice if this feature would work for all your users, especially the power users of social media sites.
Hi Nick
Thanks for reporting this issue. We just posted a fix that we would like you to try. Please give it another shot (none of us have 5000+ friends;). Contact us via support@brightkite.com so we can work with you on resolving this.
Hi.Nick.Have u tried again and what's the result?
We can discover our Facebook friends already on Brightkite.It is good feature for me.
can't access facebook on my iphone, it says this application not not compatible with this iphone.
A love the way that social media applications are connecting with one another. It will help ensure they really catch. The more integrated they are with peoples current browsing habits the quicker they will spread
It's going to be interesting to see who wins the battle between Facebook Id and Google ID. I notice that more and more sits are using one or the other. My money's on Google
Too bad this doesn't work for the Facebook elite.
But thanks for sharing.
my posts aren't making it to FB….not sure what is going on.
