Tune out if you’ve had enough of all the Facebook talk.
Following on the previous posts about Frontdoor’s implementation of Facebook Connect, Hotpads has rolled out a revamped homepage that also features Facebook integration prominently.
As with Frontdoor, you can now login to HotPads using only your Facebook account. The nice thing is Hotpads lets you dive [...]
The nice folks at Scripps sent me an email fleshing out more detail about Frontdoor’s Facebook Connect integration. I’ve excerpted a few sections below since they give some greater context to the feature.
As you surmised, the Facebook Connect rollout is a work in progress. Truth be told, we’re about 50% finished with the actual [...]
Frontdoor.com, HGTV’s foray into the real estate search space, now lets you sign in to the site (sort of) with your Facebook account.
