According to latest internet stats, there are 2.31 billion users with active social media accounts.
And the just released CB Connect 7.0 (stable) with its awesome list of 20 supported networks and features helps you bring them over to your own website by making it super easy for them to join. No hassle sign-up and no new password setup, is a great combination to attract new users to your website and save user data (with social network's user permissions) to your local user profiles.
The numbers speak for themselves - there is no other add-on for Joomla (or any other CMS as far as we know) that supports so many social networks.

If you have been following this add-on's progress you are probably aware that it was delayed because of its dependency on a third-party API library.

As Kyle already commented this new beta curently supports authentication from the following 10 social newtwork providers:
- Windows Live
- Foursquare
- GitHub
- VKontakte
- Steam
There are also plans to add more in upcoming CB Connect 7.0 RC release.
