Which social media account do you prefer to log in with? [Poll]

With social media so widely adopted and integrated across the Web, many blogs and websites offer users the ability to log in with their existing Facebook, Twitter, or Google Plus accounts. When given the choice to log in to websites with a third-party social media account, which one do you prefer to use?

1. Twitter is the easiest for someone to follow back on as well if they are interested.

2. I prefer not to use most social sites, as they seem a pointless time sink (FOR ME) and do not really add much value in most circumstances.

   Have tried the leading contenders in the past, but rarely bother these days, frankly speaking.

   I do still use LinkedIn (and the specialized groupings associated) for managing some personal networks. This approach retains some value.

3. I use multiple social media sites, each for a different purpose. LinkedIn for business, Facebook for personal and business, etc. BUT I really do not like to mix so I really hate it when they insist on my logging in using a ‘competing’ account. I feel like there’s too much sharing and that they are stealing each other’s share. Besides, I really hate FB for changing things without notifying members first. Once they lose trust, forget about getting it back. They have made me more cautious.

4. I use any pretty much randomly. Unlike Facebook and Google, LinkedIn or Twitter are not providing email addresses.
   Not only site owner want to know who they are dealing with but also “content consumer” I find it strange reading a comment and not being able to find out who the author is. It devalues the content instantly.

5. Since I want to make sure I maintain control of any outgoing messages, I do not log in with any social media accounts. Dirty, but I don’t trust today’s rules to apply tomorrow, so even if you say it won’t happen, I am still not taking the chance (read giving the opportunity. )
