Spam your facebook friends?

Whenever I see "Sign in with Facebook" would that be somewhat synonymous with spamming your facebook friends? I'm no facebook expert, but if it is anything like twitter, I assume every time you post something after you are signed in it gets placed on your friends pages too?

    According to what I understood from your post, I think you are asking if your updates show up on your friends pages.

    Simple answer is, yes they do

    But there are two tabs in facebook, one says recent updates (or something like that ) and the other one says Most popular (or something like that ).

    People are mostly into the Most Popular one because that's selected by default and all of your comments and stuff won't show up in the most popular at once (the should be liked or commented on)

    Hope it helped

    Everyone hates to receive spam messages, If you post something on your wall your friends will surely see it unless you had change your settings

    He is talking about when you visit other websites. You can sign-in/up with your facebook account. When you register or take an action they post it to the wall via the Facebook API. ie "Jain is planning her wedding at SomeWeddingSite dot com", or "Jain selected David's Bridal dress 'White One', and wants your feedback.". You get the idea.

    This created a big fuss a while back as some people visited some sites that they may not want friends and family to know about and got their stuff posted on their wall for family to see. LOL... So Facebook allows you to control that part now of days from what I know.

    It doesn't get posted to your friends pages. But it is on the wall where everybody can see it. Sometimes my family members will see things pertaining to my business and question me about it. So what I do is quickly remove it from my wall before any of my friends see it.
