Anyone interested in having this feature? Basically it allows you to login with your Facebook username / password, and also it will post any information from the site onto your Facebook profile.
I dislike Facebook, and implementing this would force me to create a Facebook account to get access to their developer API. But I'm willing to take one for the team.

No, and both Julie and I closed our facebook accounts.
I don't feel comfortable putting all my information on a website funded by the CIA.

That's pretty much why I don't have one. Meh, I figured someone out there might use it still though.

So... don't put your information on it? Facebook has my name (though you don't even have to give your full real name) and a throwaway email account. That's all the information you actually have to give.
As for this feature, I don't use or care about facebook enough to bother using something like this, so unless someone's really into facebook, I say don't waste the time and energy.

Looks like if you want to get your Facebook account REALLY deleted instead of just closed, You can post links to Alex Jones Videos.
Interesting.

i'm almost a facebook MVP, and even I don't need an app mixing up my nova and fb stuff.

I have a Facebook account and I don't put any information on it that I care people know about. The sort of things I do mind people knowing (SSN, draft reg. number, address) the CIA already has access to. I guess now they know that Citizen #XXXX likes Arrested Development and Neuromancer. Shit.

Yeah, I really don't get a lot of that video you linked NV. Shit, the CIA is compiling a database of information that is already accessed easily through various government institutions, subpoenas of companies you do business with, and/or google? Crap. Run for the hills.
I can understand people not liking the fact that Facebook takes your non-critical marketable information and sells it, but if that's the case, it's easy enough to not give them any information. Don't make an account or don't put any contact information. Maybe it's because I'm Canadian and the CIA doesn't care about me, but I sure haven't had any advertising directed at me that could be in any way linked back to facebook, other than ads on the actual site.
