maybe, just maybe, having friction in logging into web services is a good thing.

i, for one, am not a fan of the tendency for every web service to require an account in the first place. making it easier for people to log in to these unnecessary accounts is helpful in discouraging this practice, as it will decrease utilization of services which require such superfluous accounts.
