Earth.org now connects to Facebook. Just one password, one username, one click.

Jan. 6, 2010 - PRLog -- With one password, one username and one click. Facebook Connect matters. It is changing how we integrate our daily lives with Facebook and throughout the web. For millions of people, Facebook has become their single, most important online identity. Earth.org now enables every user to take their Facebook identity with them. Earth.org travellers can now create their new account or log onto www.earth.org with absolute convenience – simply by connecting with their Facebook account.

And that is how it works

• You are new at Earth.org? There is no need to create a new account on Earth.org. Just click on “Login” and you will see the button “Facebook Connect”. Enter your email and password that you use for Facebook and you can start exploring Earth.org.
• You already have an Earth.org account? Log in with your Facebook password and email and we will check your existing account. You can then log in with your Facebook account every time you visit www.earth.org.

Please note: When you log out of Earth.org using Facebook Connect, you will be logged out of Facebook as well. Your privacy settings that are provided on Facebook are retained on Earth.org. Many thanks to our web application developer Emran Hasan from Bangladesh, who has realised Facebook Connect for Earth.org.

Earth.org – background information

"Earth.org is a collaboratively written travel guide with a non-profit approach. Think of us like Wikipedia, but focused specifically on travel. What we do is: we write this travel guide all together." – Mathias, Product Developer of Earth.org. You just add your favourite restaurant in your hometown or some info on your traveling experiences. You share your knowledge - and if we all do this a new way of travel can emerge. You suddenly have free and reliable travel information on the Internet, just like you have it now with Wikipedia for the world of encyclopedia.

Earth.org has a non-profit approach

Earth.org is independent from business interests - and because of this it is a social experiment dependent on your engagement. Our only interest is the traveller, the explorer, the local in the know. We commit to putting our nonprofit approach into action: At least 50% of our net earnings (after taxes) will go into environmental, social or cultural projects.

Earth.org - who are we?

At Earth.org we have no office. We work 100% remote and our team members are placed all over the globe. We work from the beach or in the mountains, in cities or at the countryside, at home with kids or whilst traveling. Our big challenge: How can we communicate in such a remote team? We decided – just open everything!

Visit the Earth.org blog (http://blog.earth.org) and meet the team - you can see us working live at Earth.org, the open travel guide. We invite you to look around and join the discussion!
