Is signing up through LinkedIn the only option? For a brand new, unheard of web site, I'd really rather just create a new account that is not directly tied to my professional networking account. If I like what I experience with the site, then I might want to tie in external accounts later. If it's the only option, I am not joining.

This registration strategy seems at odds with the "anonymity" the site markets.

On a positive note, I do believe that community rating of content is a useful mechanism, and connecting yourself and your content to certain areas of interest can also help others find people and content that may be relevant. It's hopefully a more structured way to find your way around than Twitter's hashtag stew.

Good luck in all you do!

hi Thank you very much for your feedback. Point taken. The reason (not saying it is the right one) we started with only LinkedIN was that it is seen as one way to keep the quality of the participation.

Trust us (you can ask - what is that?), there is not going to be any connection between your LinkedIN account and your ShareCred activity. It is just a way to login.

Having said that, we will seriously consider opening up registration.

Thanks again,
