> The account sign-up process says that Quora can use your Facebook or Twitter identity to save you time — so why did I have to enter my e-mail address and make up a password anyway?
This is what annoyed me most when signing up for Quora.
Facebook and Twitter just help Quora verify your identity, while also ensuring new users have nice profile pictures. They still have to create their own unique account for you, which is why they want your e-mail.
I felt like I got duped into revealing my Facebook account for no reason. The page indicated that I'll 'save time' but as far as I can tell I didn't save any time at all.
Quora uses your Facebook friends graph to determine who you'll initially follow on Quora. It's been critical to onboarding new users and showing them relevant content immediately.
