You have to understand that there is a difference between real Facebook users and older users who just made accounts so they could feel that they were participating in social networking. Real Facebook users have tons of personal information on their accounts. They are more reluctant to use Connect to login to other websites for the same reason that people don't use their real names when making user names. Older Facebook users don't have the type of network to actual get much use out of Facebook. They actually think Facebook is a place to meet people, a notion a real user would consider completely ridiculous. Older users don't view Facebook as an online portrait of their offline lives and are more likely to use Connect.
