What?
Wait, I can ONLY establish a Milq account by going through a Facebook or Twitter account? Isnt Milq promoting itself as a more aesthetic (less online media crap infested) alternative to Facebook and Twitter? What if I dont, uh, like, DO Facebook or Twitter? There are one or two people out there like me, Im sure of it. Speaking only for myself, Im not in some social media dungeon because I dont know how to turn on my laptop or type on my iPhone, nor am I inappropriately (whatever that means) afraid for my privacy - rather, its because Im busy, and I dont care about your mojito gallery or what you had for lunch. Look, I am very familiar with the work of Milqs developers. I saw the NYT article this morning and was delighted - only to be blocked from signing up for Milq (after I downloaded the App) because I refuse to sign up through a Facebook or Twitter account. Help me out here, arent you guys trying to coax like minded people away from the daily onslaught of useless media ephemera found on FB & Twitter by offering them a place for a more thoughtful curation of online media? Did it occur to you that there might be relatively intelligent potential "curators" out there who have rejected FB and Twitter for the SAME reasons that prompted you to develop your App?
