#12I don't know you, I don't trust you, and I won't be giving you my social login.
Should've just had it let us enter our names with a simple captcha.
Re: Mining interesting data about your name
#13Wish I could just enter a name. I don't use my social media logins to sign in to other sites any longer.
We wanted to prevent automated bots from sending too many queries at once - that's why we kept the social login. If you are still concerned, you could authenticate with a fake Twitter or FB account or revoke the permissions after trying it out.
That seems to me to be a terrible and Byzantine solution to a very easily resolved problem. So easily resolved in fact that I question whether this is really the reason why or are you harvesting data for some other purpose?
I too never use my facebook or twitter logins for anything unless it's absolutely critical.
It sounds like it could be fun otherwise.

Yeah,sure. Why don't I just give you access to my social networking accounts. That sounds like a fantastic idea…

If only there was some other way to implement rate limiting....

We will be switching to captcha in a day or so - if you want to give it a try after that.

#17Why does the app need permission to post tweets for me? Not a chance, sorry.

Nope, the social login is just to prevent too many queries. We are planning to switch to Captcha in a day or two instead of social login.
If it's just to prevent too many queries, why does it require such powerful permissions for my Twitter account?
- See who you follow, and follow new people.
- Update your profile.
- Post Tweets for you.
