To the curious: It's a messageboard with some nice UX elements and a few twists (you have to ask or be invited in order to post to threads). Annoying, though, that not only do you have to fork over your Twitter credentials (and your entire graph over there), but then the site subsequently asks you to confirm an email address. I thought OAuth & OpenID style logins were supposed to help cut down on friction, not add more?
