Aligning WordPress Blog with Facebook
The Facebook API makes it very simple for the integration of a WordPress blog into Facebook. In fact, the Facebook is so convenient that with it making programming applications that could be promoted through Facebook becomes as easy as a stroll in the park. How does it work? Well, Facebook or any other networking sites work on simple phenomena akin to chain reactions. For e.g., let’s take an application to understand better. “Farmville” is one of the many interactive browsing games on Facebook. Now, game permits users to build an agrarian life with the help of their friends and networking aids. So, a player starting a Farmville game invites all his friends to join and help him, who in response invite all 'their' friends and so on, thereby building a long and strong chain of users. The sustainability is derived from the various ads and campaigns displayed and promoted on your page. This creates a win situation for both its applications and Facebook.

In early 2009, John Eckman created the WordPress. Through this WordPress blog holder could easily align their stuff with Facebook. This allowed a dual accessibility on the blog owner's page; one through the original link to the page and second, through the Facebook application. To access any application on Facebook, one needs to permit the application which further implies allowing the application access to all the personal details of the user. Now, this is something which makes the usage of applications a little shady but considering the fact that it is a source of revenue generation (allows user centric display of ads) for the site, there is nothing much left to question. After granting permission the user is taken to the 'canvas' page, where the blog is accessed through the Facebook window. The user can now easily post share and comments views on the blog with their network which further gives the blog enhanced spread.
Aligning Facebook with WordPress Blog
The OpenID protocol allows users to have a single ID access to several internet services and products. OpenID is an attempt to make the web more simple and friendly. It works through the decentralization of user IDs and increased accessibility of the web. Facebook has adopted the OpenID platform since 2007 which means a single Facebook user account could allow access to all the connecting networks and WebPages. Users would not have to create unique IDs and profiles for various services because the OpenID would automatically collect all the relevant data from the Facebook account. The rest is done in accordance with the preceding alignment.
