Pinbud Welcomes Facebook Users With Facebook Connect

Aug. 7, 2010 - PRLog -- PinBud is a social internet platform connecting consumers with local service providers. PinBud enables users to find, research, rate, and refer business listings in their area. In addition, in areas where service providers have subscribed to the feature, users can select and contact multiple businesses using a single online service request form. With this convenient feature consumers will save time and effort when asking for a quote or booking a job on a wide range of personal, household, automotive, and professional services.

Facebook Connect gives users quick access to their personal account on PinBud. On PinBud’s homepage, users will see “Connect with Facebook”. Users will click on the Facebook icon to activate Facebook’s login screen and to log in to Facebook. After granting permission to PinBud to access user’s Facebook account information (user name and email address), the user is redirected to PinBud. No additional login information or activation is required from PinBud. To protect their privacy, PinBud enables users to change their Facebook user name to a different user name when posting content on PinBud’s public zone.

Users with an existing PinBud account can map it with their Facebook account if they are using the same email addresses for both websites. Also, users can create a new PinBud account if they do not wish integration with Facebook.
