This is what I thought. Load times were brutal. But I do love Wolfram Alpha.

I can't even sign in, it's just a blank dialog box.

I also had to switch from Chrome to Firefox to get it to work (in addition to all of the above).

  I also had to switch to Firefox (after seeing your post here). I tried with Chrome for hours before seeing this, switching, and it worked right away.

Mine was a three click process, I was already signed in to Facebook. Go to app (Facebook), Allow access, Create account. Done!

You forgot "reactivate FB account" as step one. Although I'm considering doing that to check this out - it looks very cool.

  Yes, and "get an internet connection" as step 0. And "have a working computer" as step -1. etc... I guess I think it's fair to claim its a simple process by assuming you have a login with Wolfram Alpha and Facebook.

The rest you don't have to do (go to your mail inbox and validate the Wolfram ID). Actually, I haven't YET validated the Wolfram ID I got in the mail. It let's you login and use it without validating.
