Why use Discourse over Linkedin, Google, or Facebook Groups?

I think Facebook is becoming “the internet” for moms, not kids :wink:


(ibtimes…not the most trusted source for news, but first link I found)

Right, but there is only a way to register using Facebook or Google+, etc. There isn’t a way to “connect” your discourse profile to those accounts (ie, uses the Facebook avatar and something in the user’s profile says their account is linked to a certain url facebook account) for those users that want to be known as the same person they are on Facebook.

There are a couple Facebook groups I’d like to encourage users to switch to discourse and features like that would help a lot. It can’t be just me, lots of forums are losing their users to Facebook groups.
