Signed up for ping.fm, but WOAH, waitaminute... they need my passwords for these other services? FAIL! Do not pass go, do not collect web2.0

@snapl agree, that isn't the way to do things. kinda like "let us find other buddies of yours from your email, just give us your pw"
-
@snapl They don't need your password for friendfeed, right? So there's the difference….
-
@snapl how did you think that pingfm could post to the other services as you without proper creds?
-
@michaelramm: OpenID was designed for just this thing
-
@greg I know and agree, but that is not the way of the world...yet
-
@greg OpenID will never work for this because you have to go to the provider's site to login once to 'open' your creds.
-
@fmars: I don'tthink you can post to twitter / identi.ca from friendfeed, so it doesn't matter. Read-only access doesn't require credentials
-
@snapl I know that you CAN post to twitter from friendfeed. I do it all of the time, you can create a comment into a @ reply.
-
@michaelramm @snapl but you cant't "create" a tweet from FF, just reply to someone's. not yet anway
-
Wondering how @fmars got the ƒ in there...
-
@douglasbass probably a clever cut n paste from a character map :)
