logging in with Facebook

in this video, there was a template site where they showed how a user could login using their Facebook account. I assume this is easier for the user because there is one less password they have to remember in their life but does this have any manifestations on their Facebook account? Does their Facebook newsfeed state "John logged into the Ribbit app"?

Does the Facebook login broadcast the utilization of the app (thereby promoting the app)?

The short answer is no. The longer answer is, a user logging in with Facebook will be prompted to allow access to certain parts of their profile (if your app requires such things) and might ask them for the ability to post to their feed/wall/whatnot, but again, that's only if you want it that way. Any Facebook interaction will be a result of your app posting things (if you set it up to do so), not Facebook.
