Sure, we just wanted users to have a more social experience with our site. With Facebook login, you can show profile pictures and names, and eventually make it easier for friends to take classes together.
- Domenic_S 15y ago> we just wanted users to have a more social experience with our site. This strikes me as bologna, because right now it's meaningless (see: "eventually" make it easier...). IMO it's perfectly reasonable to say that you didn't want to roll your own registration system.
- choxi 15y agoSure, I agree that's a valid reason. It wasn't our reason though, I've worked with Devise on Rails projects many times so implementing that would have been just as easy as implementing Facebook Connect. Honest. I like meric's response as well: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3179759 http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3179759
- uxp 15y agoIf you've already got all the functionality for Facebook Connect, it doesn't take a whole lot more to add in Google and/or Twitter Oauth. Giving your potential users a number of options is always a good thing.
- tjoff 15y agoIMO it's not reasonable at all. It might be boring but it doesn't take much time at all and forcing your users to login with facebook is just lazy and irresponsible. A social experience might be nice but make sure it's optional, having only facebook as a means to login makes you look fraudulent.
