Sign in with Facebook
Everyone loves Facebook!
Don't worry! We never post to Facebook.
Except us.

@e4tmyl33t The key lesson I've learned from years of online dating is that the mechanism doesn't matter much with regard to success, it's all in what particular service the people likely to like you are using at that point in time.
Providing you keep in mind the caveat of "that still requires people likely to like you"...
;)
People like me are likely to like me.

Meet the new AOL. Just like the old AOL.

also, i knew a guy named Pablo Picasso, and FB wanted to see an id card before activating his account.
I recall a few yeas ago reading about a guy by the name of Mark Zuckerberg who had a heck of a time setting up a Facebook account.

@masonwheeler and yet my mother in law's account with her dog's name is fine

@weng If you think the reason start-ups want to avoid password/credential management is the time it takes to set-up, its really hard to know where to begin in correcting you.

Facebook makes CDs people only use as coasters?
Hey now, that's not entirely accurate. My friend in high school stuck a bunch of them on his door for decoration.

You would too if you had to invent the site first
-
The reasons are many.
- The desire to save marginal time and money building and securing it.
- The fuckstick half baked idea that users will walk away if you ask them to fill out a fucking form (this is very true for things users aren't committing serious time and effort to your product - which is not what you want out of a dating site. You make money off users who are invested).
- The desire to scrape and inevitably misappropriate social media profiles. Which is the OTHER way you monetize users.
- Fuckstick trendiness.
- The fuckstick half baked idea that you don't need support people if your users can't have login problems.

Facebook makes Floppys people format and re-use ?
Yeah, I really hated when they switched to the coasters... (OMG, >that's< what goes in my cup holder???)

I know lots of people who have accounts for their dog. Yeah, that's the kind of people I hang out with...
-
@dcon It's her account, she just doesn't want her name or date of birth on it so uses her dog's. Every time it's the dog's birthday she gets people apologising for not realising it's her birthday.

That part is easy - don't make the birthday public! (I think I made my month public, but not that day or year - hmm, maybe I need to do a security audit again...)
