FYI, even if you click cancel it will still advertise you to your friends ("Rob uses this app" in the bottom left corner of the signup popup). Which seems pretty questionable.

I verified with two other friends--I saw both of them in the "so and so uses the app" section and neither of them had ever added the app (only "cancelled").

I hope that's just a bug.
Facebook has used my profile picture in the past to advertise their "connect with email to find more friends". I will NEVER give Facebook my credentials for ANY of my email accounts.

It annoys me though that my likeness has been used in an attempt to get "my friends" to also type in their credentials.
