This statement can hardly be made with the numbers that participated in this.
In addition the article isn't very good and the No - Spam option speaks more to users being wary of the application than facebook.
This doesn't seem like the typical quality of article usually voted up on HN - I'd guess people just voted it up from the link title without reading (since people love to hate facebook).
- cookingrobot 14y agoThe inspiration for the survey came from the numbers we were seeing on our site (across 10's of thousands of signups). There was a clear preference for signing up with email vs facebook. The in person survey is too small to provide meaningful numbers, but it was useful to hear real people's feedback and sentiment. I agree that it seems weird that people would rather give their email than facebook because they "don't want spam". But that's really what they said, so that's not speculation about their reasons. And again, the survey was asking people about their experience and feelings about sites they've signed up for, not just about our site.
- michaelbuckbee 14y agoI think the difference might be from the social stakes involved, if an app spams your friends then you publicly look bad, if you get a spam email nobody knows but you.
