Digg (
) has just rolled out its long anticipated integration of Facebook Connect. The move allows non-Digg users to sign into the social news site using their Facebook () credentials, while enabling current Digg users to connect their account with the social network.
Once Facebook Connect has been activated, you’re able to publish your Diggs, comments, and submissions back to your Facebook News Feed. You can also quickly invite your Facebook friends to Digg. Kevin Rose gives a quick tour of the integration in the video below:
This is an important move for both companies. For Digg, it means a lot more exposure on Facebook, as their millions of existing users link their accounts and publish information back to their News Feeds. For Facebook, it represents a huge new partner for Facebook Connect, which the company hopes will become an identity standard for users across the Web. The partnership was first announced all the way back in August of last year.
