Good question: Will this work on top of Facebook's Connect service or in place of it? If it's the former, I imagine this new feature has a chance to compete for developer attention as the market for this services starts to figure out how to use it. If it's an either or situation, I'm not sure how easy it will be to unstick the traction Facebook Connect is already starting to see.
