The Live Stream Box lets users:

* Log in to your site using their Facebook accounts with Facebook Connect.
* Communicate and share with each other and their friends in real time at large scale (supporting millions of simultaneous users).
* View what their friends are saying as well as the general audience viewing the live stream.
* Comment on and "like" their friends' posts.
* Share their updates directly on their Facebook profile and in their friends home page Streams. Each story on Facebook includes a link back to your site (through a URL you specify).

One of the great Friend Connect features is to be able to stream back your activities to other social networks (or other social sites supporting activity streams) you use. The interesting aspect here is the plural! With Facebook Connect, you are limited to just one social network (Facebook), but with Friend Connect you will be able to stream you activities to several sites at the same time.
