Thanks - we have fix on the way for those that block FB Connect

Fair point. As you said, you can test the mobile app without signing up. We found that many of our users didn't know about our account syncing feature (because they didn't sign up). They then told us that it was difficult to switch between devices when they downloaded our apps as they had different news sources on different devices. This is an effort to remedy that confusion by keeping one single consistent account across platforms. Trying to get users to sign up later when they want to sync (which we've tried on mobile) has proved to be difficult for most users.

Yes, we agree that there will be some drop-off, but we're taking that chance in order to provide the best experience across platforms.

We don't send frequent emails - we haven't emailed our user base in months - until today about this launch. If users don't have an account, they can't have a consistent experience across platforms. A good user experience is our top priority here.

Thanks for pointing that out. Some other users have mentioned it showing up more times than necessary. We're taking a look.

We worked with Microsoft to incorporate multi-touch gestures available in IE10 into Pulse for Web. You can read more about that partnership on the IE10 blog here: http://windowsteamblog.com/ie/b/ie/archive/2012/08/09/with-i...

We require accounts on web for things like news source recommendations and notifications for when we release new features. If you create an account, your sources will also sync across platforms like Android, iPad, iPhone, etc. Our mobile apps do not require sign-in, however, so feel free to download those from our homepage: http://www.pulse.me/

I see, thanks.

Do you mean you changed the title? I certainly didn't as I'm now blocked from editing the title of my own submission. Also, the post seems to still be flagged.

still seems I'm getting attacked by a single IP...

It should be back up now.

sorry, trying to get it back up.

I didn't add my FB Account at all, so it had nothing to pull from there.

The profile image brought in from Twitter was broken when I tried it out.

I also went to Stanford and when I took a beginning level CS course a student in my year was caught cheating. He copied a problem set from someone else and was later suspended for a quarter. Stanford has a judicial review board composed of students that make the final decision in cases like these and he was still punished. Everyone was warned by the professor at the beginning of the class that the CS department catches the most students cheating every year b/c every problem set is electronically reviewed for ways it might have been copied.

I should have mentioned that I was mostly referring to historically underrepresented minority women (blacks and Hispanics). This may affect what you have observed. Asians, in particular, are overrepresented in education and technology when compared to the general population statistics in the US.
