A lot of websites these days are becoming connected. For example, if you have a google account many websites allow you to sign in with it, same with facebook. I can see why they're doing it, it could be pretty convenient. But it gets super annoying sometimes, like how I just spend the past 5 minutes trying to sign in to my flickr account, but my school google account wouldn't let me log out so I could log into my personal google account so I could log into flickr.

Anyway, just want to say that I hope NS never joins up with google, yahoo, facebook for combined accounts, it's super annoying.

pretty much just he stuff i said originally, it not not letting me log out of my school account so i can log in to my other account. i set up my flickr with google so i wouldn't have to make an account with yahoo, but it would be so much easier just to be able to sign in with flickr and be done with it.

also, with youtube, i tried to sign in with the account my brothers and i have for our fishing vids to upload something, but it was impossible because of google clicking me around all this different shit. not sure if that made sense, but it's annoying as hell.

I like the idea of a username. You are unknown, except to those who you want to know you. You can use it as something that describes you, make it funny, or just something you think is cool, looks or sounds good.

Also, the first week of Facebook joining would be hell. Everybody would friend request everybody else, and this place would become a shithole.

Learning what usernames belonged to what IRL names would be a bitch too.

Not that I think NS would ever turn to Facebook Login.
