This being a beta test, It's kind of obvious, but since there is so much debate about this going on (much of which is totally justified), I thought it makes sense to post this Blizzard statement here:
Also, please note, that this is a beta test. Sometimes our developpers disable parts of the game, to get players to make extensive use of another part of the game. In this case, it is important that Real ID and the Facebook integration is tested thoroughly. This does not mean it will be the only option at release.

(Btw I would also keep this in mind when thinking about balance changes. They might be only temporary to get people to use certain units and strategies for testing purposes. The apparent bogus reasons they give for some changes seem to point in this direction.)

not for me it wasn't. I completely forgot about such a possibility, so thanks for posting it.

This system of friends is too dumb for them to use while live, its annoying but I didnt expect it to be there when live.

Its actually more convenient than I thought, instead of asking for emails you can just add them all lol

Guess that was the most logical move from a company that tries to listen to us.

It isn't for you, it is for the non geeks who don't talk much about their gaming. Imagine asking a friend of yours just out of the blue "Do you play starcraft?", with the facebook thing you automatically find all of your friends who use facebook and plays.
And seriously, I bet that everyone will have many friends on facebook who will play starcraft 2 that they didn't know about. When starcraft was new it was easy to find people who played it, but as it got older fewer and fewer played it. It will be the same thing with starcraft 2.
What they are doing is basically trying to make it as easy as possible for new players to get into the multiplayer part.

It's only convenient if you have all your sc friends on facebook. I do not.

but i don't have a facebook account...
actually come to think of, no one i know has one :p
Anyways, time to ask around for e-mail adresses i suppose

I'm still mad, this is so damn inconvenient. But at least this won't be the system for release.

What's your point exactly? An optional service is only useful for those who use it!
Sure you might not use it, but why is it such a big deal that the service exists and that other people might like it.
Here's an example from the War3 Bnet, they introduced clan systems but I never made use of them. A lot of people did use the clan service but I can say that for a hell of a lot of other people they never touched it. Should I post about how the clan system is only convenient to the people who use it? What would the point be in doing so?

So in order to make the facebook friend integration feature work they are assuming a person would use the same email for their facebook login as their battle.net login? I mean how else do they find out your friend is in beta?
I haven't tried it yet for the sake of my own privacy.
