Social Connect Magento extension
Magento social connect extension that would connect your Magento installation with multiple authentication providers
at the same time. Inspired by this idea I wrote another Magento extension named Inchoo Social Connect allowing your customers to login or create an account at your store
using their Google, Facebook or Twitter account.

Responsive Custom Menu
IntroductionAfter you install and configure Inchoo Social Connect, your Magento installation will have
Google, Facebook and Twitter buttons added to your login page as a convenient way for your
customers to login or register using their Google or Facebook account. This functionality will also be available at your create an account page, as well
as at the first step of your store’s checkout process.
By using one of the Inchoo Social Connect buttons customer will initiate different process depending whether he already connected his user account to one of your store’s accounts or not. For first time customers Social Connect will create a brand new store account using data received from authentication provider, send registration email with store account credentials and then connect that store’s account to authentication provider’s account. If Social Connect discovers that email address given by the authentication provider is already used by existing store customer, customer in question will be logged in and his account will be connected to the authentication provider. Customers who already have their store account connected to an authentication provider’s account will be automatically logged into your store.
To take advantage of Social Connect, existing customers will be able to connect their store accounts with authentication provider of their choice from their account settings page.

installation is to download latest version of Inchoo Social Connect Magento extension zip package, and merge
contents of enclosed directory into your Magento installation root. After adding Social Connect to you
