NOSVC is now testing Facebook Connect a service that allows an open or shared registration between sites using an API (application program interface). This should prevent you from having to register for an account or remember a password here – you will only need your Facebook account to be recognized by us. I know one of the deterrents to joining a new site is having to create, use and ultimately remember a new account name and password. As soon as it becomes more difficult than it should be we walk away. I know a lot of people are visiting NOSVC and not leaving comments or feedback – likely because it is just as easy to not do so as it is to register for a new account to do so. We hope connecting to NOSVC just got easier and hope the interaction with Facebook works well for everyone.
If you have trouble email me directly – I am still working on a few small things to make sure everything runs smoothly from here on out.

The interconnect seems to work great for me. Why can’t I think of good ideas like that?
I know – I was very pleased that it linked up the way it did. I think we’ll start to see more smaller sites use this vs. independent authentication.
