I'd like to second that Facebook is a non-starter for me. You should provide an alternative that doesnt connect to facebook, twitter etc unless you want to.

Thanks for the feedback, and sorry to hear -- our goal in connecting to Facebook is to make it easier to add friends (so you can see how you spend time with people IRL). We could allow for adding via email+pw, but then we run into the problems I outlined above, and having friends on the service would be much more difficult.

I've had apps where I've been hesitant to connect with Facebook, but it's when I'm concerned the app will post to my wall or my friends' walls without my consent -- given that we don't do this, what is it about connecting to Facebook that turns you off? Is it a concern that Facebook would have access to the information in the app (they don't) or something else?

Thanks for the post -- trying to best understand so we can develop the best solution.
