I have a major idealogical problem with this recent trend of sites using Facebook connect. Don't take this the wrong way, but Facebook is a toy. People use it to share party pictures and play Farmville. I would just as soon trust a circus clown to be the central authority on my identity as you guys.
And when I visited a site for the first time to see my Facebook contacts there, without ever having signed up for the site in the first place, I got angry. Really, really angry. And then I got even angrier when I went through the 30 step process of turning off this "feature".
I don't know how representative I am of the population at large, but this stuff drives me nuts. Please stop.

As you suggest, Facebook is a toy and has no place providing this kind of service. -1 for Facebook Connect.
