Alternate would be to add another row to your user CF specific for Facebook
ids.  Column ID would be the Facebook identifier and value would be your
internal uuid.

Consider when you want to add another service like twitter.  Will you then
add another CF per service or just another row specific now to twitter
ID's.  Queries will be easy still as its against a single row in the same
CF.
