Seems particularly troublesome because of cascading failure, not just when deliberately deleting your own account. Facebook regularly suspends accounts for all sorts of reasons, and I'm not sure there's enough transparency and oversight in why and how they do it, and what the process is for getting access restored, to trust them as an general-purpose authentication gatekeeper.

What do you think about the Twitter Sign-in API? I like that Twitter involves delimited, public information, so linking it to other accounts may be less problematic.

Twitter can also suspend your account for strange reasons, though: http://www.bogost.com/blog/cascading_failure.shtml
