Amazon integrated Facebook Connect. This is the authorization screen to give Amazon my Facebook data. There are two ways to think about this: Amazon just took a bunch of useful data from Facebook, with little in return Amazon is likely to make a lot of money off of Facebook social data, and will now be locked in to using Facebook I’m biased towards the latter. Facebook is a social service. Facebook.com doesn’t actually matter.
