I don't mind connecting with Twitter. What I find absurd is requiring the right to tweet on my account at any time without my explicit permission.

ah, I have removed that settings from the app.

Fantastic!

Are you implying that 99% of the Internet has neither a facebook nor twitter account? I'm willing to bet that's false.

As for the second sentence, I have no idea what it means, but I'll also wager a large sum of money that there are many times more facebook OR twitter users than openid users.

Since they are openid providers, you already lost the bet.

Where do i collect my large sum?

Even if you want to exclude them, i still bet google+Yahoo users > tweeter+facebook

Neither Facebook (FBConnect/oAuth) or Twitter(oAuth/xAuth) are OpenID providers...

>google+Yahoo users > tweeter+facebook

Meh, OpenID is inferior to oAuth or at least oAuth+OpenID, and besides, those are both "social login"-types which I figured you were mocking in general.

Openid is a "social login"?

What are you talking about?

Yes, when you login via Google and Yahoo's OpenID, it's effectively a "social login".

If you can type your OpenID endpoint for your Google account without looking it up, I'm willing to discuss otherwise. This is why it's "Login via Google" and you never hear of people logging in via a generic OpenID provider and then using their Google OpenID URL.
