Great looking site and clear focus, but your Facebook Connect permission requirements caused me to give up before trying your product!

Getting past the home page requires connecting with facebook and providing the following info:

Your basic info

Your e-mail address

Your birthday

Your relationship status

Your photos

Friends' birthdays

Photos shared with you

This app may post on your behalf, including status updates, photos and more.

I suggest you allow me to browse more of your site while not logged in, limit the initial permission request to just my basic info + email, and/or provide alternate login method.

Collins,

Good points, we know people will be turned off by Facebook connect (as evidenced by comments...), and we're working hard to add more login options.

We definitely should not require "extended permissions" at login, we should wait until the posting is needed.
