To me, social web == social media. I don't use Facebook but use it for auth when I have no other option. Even worse, I don't want an external service federating my identity when I can avoid it. We have all heard of people getting locked out in cases where Google decided to ban a user from their platform. I'm never trusting an external provider again.
