I'm not on Facebook, so sites that have this Facebook connect feature as the only way to sign up / log in have lost me as a user.

I realize I am probably in the minority, or at least not in the target market.

I am on facebook, but don't want to use facebook connect. Maybe I'm also a minority I don't know. I sort of like my facebook being separate to everything else.

We don't do anything to your facebook account, we just want to know real names so that comments will be better quality.

I don't use my real name on facebook either, and I know many other folks who do the same. Indeed, I might prefer to use my real name on NewsTilt but NOT facebook.

As with many of the login complaints, this is probably only an issue for a small minority of your target users.

Really? Interesting. I presume though that it's a name that you're invested in somehow, and that you wouldn't like to tarnish by leaving crapping comments?
