Before blaming the 50% drop-off on Facebook, you should measure the drop-off of the ID/password approach and compare the two. I would expect the drop-off for any login method to be relatively high on mobile apps. Anyone has data they can share?

i know the stats of some websites(or webapps if you like to call them as such) which started years ago with user/pass and after integrating fb got a major better sign-up rate. most logged-in users now use the site via fb.

either mobile is majorly different, the tinyreview adopter group is majorly different, their product is majorly different or their analysis is flawed (as you have pointed out correctly)

FYI, here is another perspective on FB Connect signup: http://damurillo.tumblr.com/post/9214057988/disappointment-w...
You're right, although I expected a much lower drop-off. We'll post follow-on data soon(ish).
