It's not clear what level of integration we're talking about here. The article claims "tell your Facebook friends when you’re playing the game and what your doing in it.", but the actual messages from Blizzard make it sound like the implementation is limited to linking your FB friends to their battle.net accounts.
I'm not a fan of publishing Starcraft notifications to my Facebook feed, but that is opt-in. Being able to find out which of my Facebook friends also have battle.net accounts seems like an incredible feature. It sounds identical to the awesome Xbox Live implementation where I ended up having a ton of friends with Xbox accounts that I would have never discovered otherwise. Really looking forward to this.
