@Jeremy Whiteley Without knowing the specifics of your use case, I don’t see an obvious reason why that wouldn’t work.

If you would like to discuss your specific use case further I would be happy to take this discussion offline via your account executive or our support site – simply mention my name and I should be notified.

@Max Spector @Jeremy Whiteley Ok that is great! So it sounds like we could use the Facebook toolkit for force.com with jainrain as well once we have the signed in user’s facebook token. http://wiki.developerforce.com/page/Facebook_Toolkit Is this the case? If so this would make Jainrain more powerful. We are already a janrain customer fyi.

@Jeremy Whiteley The short answer is yes. Our APIs enable customers to make a call to Janrain requesting the signed-in user’s Facebook token which can then be used to make additional graph API calls to Facebook.

@Jeremy Whiteley Additional identity providers (IDPs) is certainly one of the biggest benefits for Engage customers. As our quarterly metrics show, supporting multiple IDPs is important when you want to cater to the entire audience, not just the 49% who choose Facebook on average. http://janrain.com/blog/social-login-trends-across-the-web-for-q4-2012/

We support not only popular IDPs for consumers but those that are important for businesses when using Force.com sites for lead acquisition and partner login like Google, LinkedIn, and even Salesforce itself.

Other benefits include a centralized dashboard for managing what data is requested from users during login and returned by each IDP. It’s important to request the data you need but not ask for too much which could reduce the number of users who grant permission. Both Cory and Allison have great posts on what to ask for and when: http://janrain.com/blog/how-website-registration-is-like-a-first-date/ http://janrain.com/blog/when-collecting-social-profile-data-dont-be-a-creeper/

On top of all of that we include social sharing via a modal or embedded sharing widget for seamless content distribution and increased referral traffic via shares to Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, MySpace, Email, and more.

Finally, for Janrain Capture customers, we can synchronize the data that is automatically collected in Capture and synchronize that data with your Salesforce database.

What benefits does Janrain provide over the facebook toolkit for Force.com besides giving other log in options?
