I bailed at the first page after the registration screen when I couldn't get any further due to the facebook requirement. I don't have a facebook account, who in tech has a facebook account these days?

I just find it strange that a supposedly forward-thinking new platform would require technology most people I know abandoned last decade. You don't appeal to early-adopters by requiring they use dead-tech.

well, you know, apart from those who actually work for facebook. or zynga.

I remember when we all had to create fake facebook accounts about 5 yrs ago when zynga tried to 'acqui-hire' our company just so we could see what farmville was like.

thankfully that didn't happen.
