Got a comment from a 'silver surfer' in my family that it wasn't obvious how to log in to comment. Need to do something to make it obvious to people who've never used Facebook connect before.
I am on facebook, but don't want to use facebook connect. Maybe I'm also a minority I don't know. I sort of like my facebook being separate to everything else.
I don't use my real name on facebook either, and I know many other folks who do the same. Indeed, I might prefer to use my real name on NewsTilt but NOT facebook.
As with many of the login complaints, this is probably only an issue for a small minority of your target users.
Really? Interesting. I presume though that it's a name that you're invested in somehow, and that you wouldn't like to tarnish by leaving crapping comments?
Simplest thing to do right away would be to place the Facebook connect login button where it currently says "Please login to respond to the article." At least people who know how to use that login will be able to comment more easily.
Yes - when I'm looking at "Please log in to respond to this article" there is no where else on my screen where I can click to log in. I have to scroll all the way back to the top, by which time my mind is moving past the article I just read and on to the next tab I have open.

I'm not on Facebook, so sites that have this Facebook connect feature as the only way to sign up / log in have lost me as a user.
I realize I am probably in the minority, or at least not in the target market.

We don't do anything to your facebook account, we just want to know real names so that comments will be better quality.

Excellent point, we'll fix it.
OK, will fix.
