Everyone's come across websites that allow you to sign in with Facebook, Twitter, or an OpenID provider. What I've recently come across is sites that purport to let you sign in with Facebook or Twitter, but don't really: once you've authorized them, they try to make you open an account with them. How obnoxious. The whole point in my trying to sign in with Twitter was so I don't have to create a frakking account with them! Digg and Cnet, I'm looking at you!
Update: Okay, I'm partially retracting my rant. Digg only makes you give them an email address and verify it and Cnet only makes you agree to a EULA and choose a username. Still, having to go through account-creation lite is annoying considering that you already did account creation with the third-party service.
