I am probably in a minority but for me, my Facebook and gmail is more valuable than almost all other accounts. When I see a site that forces me to sign up using Facebook or a google account, I usually hit back. Why? Because in my mind I'm giving access to my entire Facebook to a bunch of guys I know little about. I'm not as fearful that these guys are evil and may directly harm me. I'm more fearful they will post something to my timeline or that they may repost say my public posts for SEO etc.

This is one reason I am extremely pissed at instagram. Instagram as a product gives you a sense of privacy because it provides very limited ways to access your photos. You can't just goto instagram.com, login and begin browsing. On the other hand, few people realize that your instagram pictures are public by default and there are dozens of sites which using instagram's API(I'm guessing) are republishing our photos without even your knowledge.

Facebook nowadays asks you to confirm the permissions you're granting to another site, and if you give timeline-post permissions, then it asks what privacy level the posts should be. I always mark "Private: nobody but me can see those posts." Problem solved.
