Does it really need all the Facebook permissions it asks for?

========

Access my basic information

Send me email

Post to my Wall

Access posts in my News Feed

Access my profile information

Access my family & relationships

Access my photos and videos

Maybe I'm overreacting but that seems like a bit much to ask for before I'm able to even tell what the web site does.

Note: I bit the bullet and logged in anyway, too curious to help myself. It wants me to watch "Just A Dream" by Nelly, but when I attempt to skip the video and find one more suitable to my tastes, it loads Nelly again. And again. And again.

sorry, i just sorta checked everything ;) i'll remove some of those. it's seriously not used for anything. you can actually just watch videos by going to /watch.

this was hacked together in a few nights so it's very incomplete. (collaborative) filtering coming soon.

If your're in Germany, try our neat little site: http://putpat.tv . Can be found ipad and on latest samsung tvs, too.

Apparently it's not 'my' music it's Facebook's.... no Facebook, no play.
you can just go to /watch. i probably should've added a link ;-)
iStockPhoto background and Facebook account required?

Bawhaha. Smells like a phishing attack.

Edit: Stock Photo was removed and you no longer need a Facebook account to play.

lost me at 'login with facebook'
the pitch is: "pandora for music videos"
iStockPhoto?
LOL
