Why do people make sites like this where you're required to give them access to tons of your information before they even tell you what they do? The home page does a poor job explaining why I should use this to unlike pages over, say, logging into Facebook and unliking pages on my own.

You should add a like button to this page, for mega meta irony points.

It seems there already is one when you connect with Facebook.

Why does the app need all these permissions to access my likes?

Exactly. Looks like someone is collecting Facebook data on Facebook Connect. Devious....

Out login system only supports one set of permissions and we're using the default set for our primary application.

However, I hear what you're saying and I'm deploying a reduced set now.

Thanks!

I was pleasantly surprised that I only have about 40 likes, most of them small local businesses or projects friends are connected to somehow. Didn't feel the need to unlike anything. Cool idea though.

you're not required to sign up?? it's just iframe like buttons... and have you ever tried unliking pages in mass on FB itself?

Search for "Nick Bergus" and "55-gallon drum of lubricant" to see why you don't want to end up in a sponsored ad.

Which likes is it supposed to show? It only showed 24 likes for me and I'm aware of many more things that I've liked that weren't shown there.

Edit: If you go here http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer/ and add 'likes' to the FQL query, you can see many more via the API.
