Social Plugins
Social Plugins are the easiest way to get started with Facebook Platform. The plugins are embeddable social features that can be integrated in your site with a line of HTML. The plugins are personalized for all users who are currently logged into Facebook, even if they are visiting your site for the first time.
The most important Social Plugin is the Like Button, which enables users to share your page with their friends with one click. You can add a Like button to any page with an iframe tag:
Once you have included the Like Button into your site, you can use other Social Plugins to turn those user interactions into more engaging experiences throughout your site. You can use the Activity Feed Plugin to show users a stream of the recent likes and comments from their friends on your site. You can use the Recommendations Plugin to show personalized page recommendations to your users based on the likes and comments across your entire site.
We provide XFBML elements for all of our Social Plugins. For example, the Like Button can also be placed on your page by using the XFBML equivalent:

Authentication
Facebook helps you simplify and enhance user registration and sign-in by using Facebook as your login system. Users no longer need to fill in yet another registration form or remember another username and password to use your site. As long as the user is signed into Facebook, they are automatically signed into your site as well. Using Facebook for login provides you with all the information you need to create a social, personalized experience from the moment the user visits your site in their browser.
In order to log the user into your site, three things need to happen. First, Facebook needs to authenticate the user. This ensures that the user is who they say they are. Second, Facebook needs to authenticate your website. This ensures that the user is giving their information to your site and not someone else. Lastly, the user must explicitly authorize your website to access their information. This ensures that the user knows exactly what data they are disclosing to your site.
If the user clicks Allow, we will give your site access to the requested information. If the user clicks, Don't Allow the dialog will close and no information will be available to your website. By default, we give you access to the user's name, picture and any other data they have shared with everyone on facebook.

Personalization
While Social Plugins offer a easy way to personalized your site, once you have added login to your site, you can access the full power of the Graph API to create an even deeper personalized experience for your users. You can use the Graph API to access the user's Facebook profile, using this data in your own custom experience. You can use the Graph API to publish to the user's Facebook Wall and their News Feed. You can use the Graph API to access the user's social graph, bring their friends directly to your site all in your own custom experience.

Analytics
You can get detailed analytics about the demographics of your users and how users are sharing from your website with Insights.
An insight provides reports broken down by domain and by app. These reports include rich data about users sharing content from your site within Facebook and other Facebook-enabled apps no matter where those activities originated. For example, if a user puts a URL from your site into a Facebook status message, that data is included in the analytics for your domain.
