Facebook users communicate through the social graph, the network of connections and relationships that exist in the world between people. With more than 90 million active users, Facebook is the fourth-most trafficked website in the world.
Facebook launched Facebook Connect to allow users to take their identity and friends with them around the Web, while being able to trust that their information is always up to date and always protected by their privacy settings.
