It’s time for another feature release here at Current, and we’ve come up with some great new tools for your enjoyment. There’s a lot of exciting new things to explore, so without further ado, here goes:
Facebook Connect
If you’re like me, trying to keep track of all your different social networks and logins can become a hassle, and we hope this will make it just a little bit easier. You can now use your Facebook ID to log into Current, with your new or existing account. It’s totally optional, so don’t worry. If you want to keep your Facebook and Current identities separate, you’ll still be able to log in as usual.
If you’re reading this, you’re probably already a member of current, but some people may hesitate to join Current.com because they don’t need another account to manage. Being able to register and sign in using a Facebook account means that it’s just that much simpler to become a part of the Current community.
If you’ve decided to link your Facebook and Current accounts, you’ll also be able to share your Current activity on Facebook. It’s super simple; whenever you leave a comment or add an item, you’ll see a ticky box that says “Publish to Facebook.” If you don’t want to share that comment or item, just uncheck the box!
You can edit your Facebook settings on your My Account page, to automatically share everything you do on Facebook, or to share nothing at all. And you’ll always be able to change the setting on individual items or comments, no matter which option you choose.
Current Toolbar
We’ve also added a new Current toolbar. Now, when you click on a link that’s been added to Current, you’ll see a toolbar on the top of the page. You can vote, respond or share the story, all from the original article.
You can find more about all of these features over on http://blogs.current.com/currentdotcom/2009/08/18/feature-release-facebook-conne...
As always, if you have feedback, suggestions, or just want to say hi, drop us an email at comment@current.com and let us know what you think!
