Would you login with
Facebook, Twitter, Steam, etc. OpenID systems. Not necessarily an aforementioned, but [some reasonable OpenID system] you can think of.

Was curious if it would be more efficient than a manual registration system, one where no manual registration was offered.

I do this sometimes with twitter for things i dont care about.

I don't think it's particularly applicable to LG though.

Yeah but you can make a throwaway Twitter account in like 2 minutes? How's that different than making a separate account?

Steam is just for playing games. Twitter lets you login to shit without signing up. I never actually use it for anything else but 1-click logins.
