I will not use sites that require login via a proprietary third-party service (e.g. Facebook, twitter or Google). I do not want my online identity locked-in to a third-party site I don't control. I understand offering these as options, even making them the default, but don't make them the only way to use your site.

Offer an on-site login or OpenID as an option, or I will not use your site.

    Along the same sentiments here, is utilizing facebook login part of a larger strategy here? Curious as to why it's the only option for users to interact with the site.

    • amitvjtimubOP 14 years ago

      No strategy here. I though facebook is pretty much ubiquitous. May be I can provide a way to login through twitter as well. I am just asking for basic level of access for FBConnect.

        No, that doesn't solve the problem at all. I really doubt it's any harder to use OpenID than it is to use twitter if you're really hung up on not storing usernames and passwords yourself (which really isn't that hard!).

In morning after waking up there is whole list of websites I have to check. I have built this tool to make it easy to do that.

It lets you create list of websites to visit and creates a single page out of those websites.

Now I don't miss to visit important websites.

Please let me know what you think.

Would you use it to visit websites regularly?

    Why is this (very slow to load) tall vertical scroll better than a tab group?

    • amitvjtimubOP 14 years ago

      You can simply scroll through the websites. I prefer it that way. BTW you can also access tabs on the left.

cool idea, I would use it if I didn't have to login. Why not just set a cookie? Make the experience more seamless because easy n seamless is your product strategy.
