Slightly off topic, but I’m exploring FB connect integration with my
rails site.
Right now I have an application with a User model, and that user model
links to all of my other models, such as comments, votes, etc. As I
understand it, FB connect lets users log in without having to log in
to my site. So what do I do, just create a pseudo user for each
facebook connect login?
Alternatively, can I / should I have existing users associate their FB
accounts with my site’s user accounts?
If two users log in to my site using only FB connect, and they’re
friends on FB, is there any way for me to tell that?

This really depends on how you configure your site. If you use the
privacy
controls that’s provided by the framework, then they would be properly
authenticated
to your site as they are to facebook.com.

I would highly recommend reading the development documents at
