This is why I'm gunning for BrowserID and so should you. At least someone is trying to solve the problem and doing a good job of it.

It doesn't abuse user trust and when it is fully integrated into the browser (I imagine it as a replacement for those lame http auth dialogs), it'll be a no brainer.

It seems to me like most of my Twitter authenticated apps don't auto-spam. I think this is a Facebook culture and default settings problem more than anything.

Most users have at least 3 browsers (home, work, mobile).

Most browsers have user profiles and syncing.
