Facebook Integration on LJ?

LJ seems to be developing "Facebook Integration." What exactly this is is unclear, but it would suspect it has to do with allowing FB identities to interact with LJ in a manner similar to OpenID identities. I wonder if such a thing will be widely utilized? How many people do, after all, crosspost their personal Ljs to FB?
Or is the intended audience more the communities and public journals with large audiences? For people who use their livejournal/lj comms as general blogs in a manner similar to Wordpress, this may indeed be useful. I'm not sure how useful this would be to a Russian audience, though. According to Google Trends, FB is less popular than LJ in Russia. FB is also far outclassed by Russian social networks.
Or, could the integration involve even more than that? FB does have extensive APIs with many uses.
Speaking of Facebook, it has reached 500 million users.
