A general note to all:
Note that only 1 in 4 Internet users has a Facebook account. Despite the incredible popularity of the site, if you use Facebook for authentication please provide an alternative method; otherwise you'll shut out 75% of the Internet.

- squidbot 16y agoAlso it's worth noting that the FB API's are notoriously down quite frequently, so you lose auth at that point, which may not be the user experience you're looking for.
