Depends...
Serious people don't want to use facebook and other social media to contribute unless it comes to OpenID...
Yahoo uses OpenID if you activate it...

Another issue maybe the login name used . In our other sosial account we may be using other login name , but when I login slax , I want to be shown as jcsoh since this is what I used all the while.

yeah exactly. even if i would use one of the deified social media and be (theoretically) able to log in, i wouldn't do as many of them require to use real-names and publish other personal details without any data privacy and/or protection. i simply wouldn't want them to be linked everywhere in the web to make profiling more easy than it already is.
ps.: tomas, your blog needs a quoting-function :)

For me, it's what both jcsoh and Lightning mention..
I like to point out that privacy is very important to me.
I do not agree with the End User Agreement(s) of the "soc. media", so I will not join.
To me it's kind of discriminating that one can not take part without a soc. med. account.
And, of course, you can "bypass" the soc. med. problem by creating a ghost account but then again.. serious, how persisting does one have to be to join?
(I just want to point out that using the soc. media. as a sort of "filter" does not work)

I'm sorry Tomas, but I would be very happy if I could sign in as before..
(not using any third party soc. media account, like gmail, facebook, yahoo and so on).
You probably have your reasons for letting people use "social-media-accounts" to subscribe, but I think it raises the bar.. makes people _not_ join..
If (serious) people want to subscribe, contribute and so on (contribute in a serieus way), they do not mind subscribing by using a "classic" form.
