Just deleted my facebook account

Not always molgrips, as above.
And I expect it to become increasingly common over the next few years.

I was quite annoyed by Gawker implementing their enforced Facebook/Twitter log-in policy. I’ve been a semi-regular on io9, Kotaku and Jezebel for years, so to suddenly be told I had to log in with either my Facebook or Twitter account was quite annoying.

I also liked their suggestion that if their community doesn’t want to hook up their social networking accounts to their Gawker account, they should create a fake Twitter or Facebook account – which means you violate FB and Twitter’s terms of service.

I tried to set up a Spotify account for my wife a few months ago, but couldn’t find a way to do it. I might have missed it, but it seemed that for new users they were only accepting FB logins 🙁

OMG,
I literally Could Not Live without FB. It’s open all the time, everyone I know is one it, and it’s pretty much the centre of our world. Everything get organised on it, everything gets on there first. News scandal, who’s doing what to who.

last count 367 friends.

thats all well and good but have you added darcy on facebook? its my source of all flooring and dog stories

EDIT – 629 (large amount of musicians and fans from when i was doing the band thing!)

Most(?) sites that offer a FB login do just that – offer a FB login. I can’t offhand think of any where it’s mandatory.
It’s coming. Gawker Media (Lifehacker, Gizmodo, Jezebel, io9, Deadspin, Kotaku etc) recently made it compulsory for commenters to log in with a Facebook, Google or Twitter account.

Interesting, I get a fair number of those via Flipboard, but I can’t remember if I used my Fb account as a login.
Flickr do now, which I’m pleased about, as I used to have no-end of problems trying to login using Yahoo; I’d made a bit of a hash with BTYahoo and Yahoo accounts, and really struggled to login, Flickr kept booting me back to login pages.
An exercise in tooth-gnashing frustration.
Tried it on my iPad using Fb, boom! Straight in, no issues, going to start using it again now.

Yeah but Philly, I know all my friends!!

Gf has 600 or so as well, crazy

I just checked on Adult Friend Finder and thankfully I don’t have to log in through Facebook. Which is a good thing all things considered.

“Ciaran Darcy likes Bristol Shemale Admirers group” is not something I need popping up on my status updates. Phew.

My missus has a Facebook account.
Her best friend also has a Facebook account.
Her best friends seriously hot 19year old daughter also has a Facebook account and isn’t exactly camera-shy.

Luckily I know my missus Facebook account log-in details!

I’m sure 19yr old daughter would not be so happy to share her photos with a dirty old man like me 😆 <joke>

This is the only useful function that I know of in Facebook!
