Do I understand this correctly? To comment on Techcrunch, one now has to become a customer of some other unrelated company, Facebook, whose main purpose seems to be tracking all of people's private activity across the entire web?
That's like telling McDonald's customers that they can't buy a Big Mac unless they first carry a Sears credit card with an RFID chip. What does one have to do with the other? Nothing.
I should start telling my customers that they can only buy my software if they buy my favorite brand of peanut butter.
- dman 16y agoErr they did say they where using Disqus before so theres nothing new here.
- fuzzmeister 16y agoSaying they have nothing to do with each other is entirely disingenuous. Blogs want comments to be tied to the commenter's identity. Facebook is by far the largest identity provider on the web. Thus, blogs tie comments to Facebook. While some may not like it, it makes an abundant amount of sense.
