I really wish AppSumo would change their homepage. Apart from the tag line (and reading the article), I had no clear idea what AppSumo did.

That's exactly the point, so you just click "Login with Facebook".

Right, but... I'm not going to do that unless I know what I'm clicking.

I feel the same.

I got more information about AppSumo from their Google search excerpt than from their website.

That seems like the sort of practice which is fine for normal users, but terrible when your market is developers.

Facebook apps in particular have a bad history of sticking crap in your profile and spamming your friends. I don't mind logging in with Google OpenID because I know it just gives you my name and email address, and that's it.
