Brilliant. What's nice is that you can actually log into Facebook "on their site", because comments are accepted via Facebook Connect.

I'm still having trouble believing this:

   1) Type "facebook login" into the browser bar.
   2) Get Google results page, with a news story called "Facebook Wants to Be Your One True Login" at the top.
   3) Click that link
   4) Observe a red page that says "Read Write Web" at the top, taking up nearly half the screen.
   5) See a facebook logo and a facebook connect login prompt.
   6) Log in to comment, and whine about how "I am going to delete my account if I ever figure out how to log in"
   7) ???

I just don't get how so many people could make so many errors. If you know English well enough to comment, you probably know how to read the article, and the links, and the message on the Facebook Connect page.

I am having such trouble comprehending this that I think it's fake. But I'm probably wrong :(

Users don't read. They're not in "comprehending" mode - they're in "find the damned blue button and log in so I can get on with what I really wanted to do" mode.

I can sort of understand this; sometimes I press the wrong button on the elevator at home (thinking I'm at work), and I get off on the wrong floor. I am confused for a second, but I eventually realize that I am not at the right place. I definitely don't start ranting about how I can't believe they renumbered my apartment, repainted the hallway, and changed my lock. I just get back into the elevator and go to the correct floor; perhaps slightly more aware of what that task entails than I was when I first pressed the button.

Why is the Internet any different?

You're wrong :)

From Marco's post: "You can see the same effect on anything ranked highly by a Google search for “facebook login”, including this: http://www.khabrein.info/news/New_Facebook_homepage__new_Fac....
