I think I have this correct, but the developer documentation has me slightly concerned, I guess I'm looking for some confirmation from someone that's used the method before.

My impression was that it was for linking my foo.com account to my Facebook account.

This method is used to create an association between an existing user account on your site and that user's Facebook account, provided the user has not connected accounts before [[1]]

Yet the following suggests its for linking my foo.com account (that's linked to facebook), with other facebook accounts that are linked to foo.com?

Your website, FooBar.com, has its own account registration. FooBar has 2 users, Anne and Bob. Anne and Bob are friends on Facebook, and both have signed up for accounts on FooBar. Anne decides she would like to connect account via Facebook Connect to get the added benefits of connecting with FooBar. Using the connect.registerUsers API method, Bob will be suggested to Anne, inviting Anne to send a Connect request to Bob.[[2]]

The first example could also describe the latter, but if that's the case, what registers my foo.com account with my Facebook account in the first place? Is it just the Facebook Connect button?

Is any of this reliant on also having a Facebook App?

I want to do all of the above eventually. So if it's only for one of the examples, what method is for the other?
