WordPress powers more than 16% of the web, and Facebook, aspires to be the web for its more than 900 million users. So, in that context, the integration makes quite a lot of sense for both parties.
However the integration is not for the in-experienced and involves a lot of terminology so we recommend clients contact us for help.
