JanRain has a universal login solution called RPX (http://rpxnow.com), and it includes much of the functionality of Facebook Connect, but also allows users to sign-in to enabled sites using an account from Google, Yahoo, MySpace, AOL, Windows Live ID and Twitter. Like FB Connect, RPX allows for a bi-directional activity flow between an enabled website and a social network, thereby allowing websites to extend their reach beyond their own property. Integration is turn-key, and RPX can be up and running on most sites in a few hours or less.

If you are an active digger who Digg more then 100 posts a day. You will always find this feature very annoying. Its better to keep a check box, which can be used to publish any dugg article on your facebook wall.
