Facebook for Beta signups – they want yo info

Noticed an interesting trend.  More companies are having you connect via Facebook rather than just give you email to sign up?

Hug Energy was the second I noticed after RockMelt. (Which I just got an invite to so stay tuned for the review)

I understand why.  With email you have one point of contact.  That is it.  With Facebook they get bucketloads of data.  Kinda scary though. These are little companies that have pressure for money.  But like I believe, if you have nothing to hide, share away!

  1. I think it’s a smart move on their part. They will get much more information this way. I’ve always been an "If you have nothing to hide, share away" guy, as well. I do try to be prudent, though.I was also thrilled to notice that you use the Sender TimeZone lab in gmail.
