Facebook has decided it will share user email addresses with developers.

“Now that Facebook is willing to share user emails, Facebook Connect will become default signup for most websites.”

Although I like the idea of Facebook connect,but I find twitter is more useful hence microblogging than facebook.

Therefore, not many users on twitter have a blog or site,so they are more likely sign-up to your site than facebook users.
