Facebook Connect, anyone?
It'd eliminate the account creation hurdle and allow you to get more users involved right off the bat through discriminating sharing of data on users' Walls/Profiles.
- teej 17y agoI hear this advice a lot and I've implemented FB Connect on dozens of sites. But I have yet to see hard data that FB Connect increases signups. I'm not convinced that this is the best use of effort for early startups.
- aderaynal 17y agogood discussion to have... Actually when we started Pickemfirst, we used Google accounts for authentication. This became a problem because we needed specific settings on our cookies so that they are available to third party sites. Plus people complained it was too difficult to create a Google Account. Might be different with FB connect though...
- jolie 17y agoDo an A/B test... and definitely let me/us know what the results are, if you decide to do that. Hard data on this issue would be good for the whole community to have!
