Logging in with Facebook, Twitter, etc. - Are you handing over your information? How comfortable are you with that? (email, working)

[grimace8]

Nowadays you can use so many sites simply by logging in with your Twitter or Facebook.

Examples: Triberr, Twiangulate, Viral Content Buzz, etc.

What's your favorite social login? Does it make you feel uncomfortable? Supposedly, or maybe truly, we're handing over information everytime we do this.

But what's the alternative? To remember 200 usernames and passwords and which email you used to register? That's absurd.

Hey everybody, the poll is a scale. I mistyped but it should be 1 to 10. Sorry. The bottom choice is 10, meaning very very uncomfortable.

The poll is private.

Anyway. I don't have a favorite social login. Some are real pains such as Livefyre - and I don't even really consider that a social login. But the one I use most is Twitter.

I like some forms of social media overall, but there are many niche social platforms I know near nothing about. I try not to overshare my personal life online anyway and have been cautious for a while. That is where once you have something out there online that you had doubts about sharing, you rarely can retract it or 100% delete it, social media or not.

Thanks maus. I'm wondering how you all feel when you "allow" a site to access your Facebook account

I picked #10.

I could careless if they want to know what I knew I was giving.

I have a Yahoo account that is more like my Spam account. I really only use it to catch Spam email. So if there is a site that offers a Yahoo login and I don't feel like creating an account I use that.
It's disposable.

I have NO use for social media. I have email and that's enough.

Your polling question makes me very very uncomfortable. Why do you want to know?

This needs an "I Don't use social networking at all due to privacy/security concerns"
