Same here. Although I liked your post enough that I spent a couple minutes and signed up using a temporary email address. Sign-ups like that irk me.

I figured as much. The drawback of appealing to a tech-minded audience :)

I don't know if it's tech minded, so much as just plain laziness. Clicking a button to say "hey, cool" is a lot easier than filling out another damn form with info you don't need.

Ah, but the lazy option is the "Login with Facebook" button- I'd say the tech crowd are much less likely to click that, for privacy reasons.

I don't typically do login thru FB, but your app was so impressive that I figured, what-the-hell. It's a travesty that it's not higher up in the voting but perhaps the winning entries are more likely to draw the crowd that's more OK with logging in through FB.

Thanks! I've accepted that I'm not going to win the popular vote (evidently don't have the social media chops!) but still hope to place somewhere respectable.

Same. For the record, I don't have a Facebook account, so it's not exactly "simple" to vote; there's a few fields to fill in (including a password? why?), and I assume I would have to validate my email, which I find infinitely annoying.
