Thanks Conrad. I'm still confused though. I have a model called User that has the following:
has_many :comments Now, when my user logs in and leaves a comment, I say something like comment = Comment.new ... user.comments << comment Now, suppose a Facebook user authenticates with FB connect. Now what? How do I keep track of this users comments? I've read both of those links but they don't really address how you treat a facebook user as a data point in your site.
