I see OKCupid is the first popular dating site (that I know of) which offers visitors the ability to use Facebook Connect to login. Great stuff!
Dating sites should leverage information of members from other sources and social networks are a great place to start. I know I get tired of re-entering the same information into a dating site as a new user for review purposes.
Other popular external login APIs which allows users to bring their identifies and information to another site include Sign in with Twitter, Windows Live ID, Google Friend Connect and OpenID. Of these I know of only one other dating site which offers an alternate login method, Match.com. They allow users to login in using their Windows Live ID account.
Facebook Connect is also something I am looking to integrate into our site. I hope to have this feature go live In a couple of months.
For more information on this dating site, read our OKCupid.com review.
