Yeah, but many people, especially in the developer community, have a knee-jerk reaction to sharing private data on FB even if that isn't what you are doing. You could easily alleviate the fear by supporting other OAuth providers and allowing people to use their email address to sign up.

I really like the concept BTW!

Email is something we're currently considering.

Thanks!

Don't just consider it--given this summer's events and disclosures, email is the only thing even remotely reasonable.

EDIT: Seriously, I appreciate the desire to get your viral coefficients up and everything, but this is something that is actually important and can ruin people's lives; don't take it lightly.
