Greetings-
I am thrilled to announce that Facebook Connect has been added to Propeller! Facebook Connect is a platform that allows web sites to offer authentication, friend linking, and content sharing through the wildly popular Facebook social network. As of today, new members can join Propeller by logging in with their Facebook username and password. They can invite their Facebook friends to join them as friends on Propeller. Also, Propeller stories can be added to a member's Facebook News Feed, via the Propeller Share Story feature. Let's see what we mean:
1. Sign in via Facebook
Clicking "Connect with Facebook" shows a second pop up window which confirms that you want to log into Propeller using your Facebook credentials, and wish to share information with Facebook (looks like this):

If this is the first time you are signing into Propeller using your Facebook account, you will be given the option to either create a new Propeller account from your Facebook information, or to link to an existing Propeller account. Here is what the "create new account" version of the screen looks like:
And that's it! It should only take a minute to do this. Once you have connected your Facebook account to your Propeller account, you can invite your friends to join you on Propeller, and you can share stories that you like with your Facebook News Feed. To invite your friends, click the "Invite" button located on the homepage under the header "Invite Your Facebook Friends." To share a story, simply click on the story's headline, and click the Share Story link at the bottom of the story description. The Share Story pop-up looks like this:
Here is an example of what the shared story looks like when it hits the News Feed:
We are excited to invite the Facebook community to check out Propeller, as well as to offer these great authentication and sharing tools to existing Propeller members. As always, if this does not work as advertised, let us know.
Happy Sharing-
