This is what is scaring away most of the site visitors. Each permission has a reason for being asked for:
"&scope=email,friends_about_me,user_about_me"
email: to notify you when a match is found. an access_token grants us knowledge of only the users email and not his friends'. This cannot be used for viral email harvesting.
friends_about_me: To seperate views based on gender.
user_about_me: to help decide which view is to be "initially " displayed based on the users' gender.
- jnbiche 13y agoWhy do you need to segregate based on gender, anyway? Boys can crush on boys, and girls can crush on girls. If they discover that they are a mutual crush, why deny them the fun? If you really want to filter views, let the user make a explicit decision to filer view based on gender, using a drop-down menu or something.
- iancarroll 13y agoThere comes a point where you're going overboard about privacy.
- kall 13y agoAnd that point is same sex crushes?
- MarkIceberg 13y agoWe dont limit you to same sex crushes. There is a toggle button to switch between genders
- MarkIceberg 13y agoYou can save crushes on person of either gender.
- jnbiche 13y agoHuh? My comment was regarding same sex crushes, not privacy.
- iancarroll 13y agoI don't know what I was thinking when I posted this.
- MarkIceberg 13y agoThats to load the initial view. You can toggle between genders very conviniently. Wouldnt be a good idea to load the entire friendslist in one go.
- jnbiche 13y agoAh ok, fair enough. I figured you were using it to make only girls available to boys, and vice versa. Still, if that permission is giving you problems because of people's reactions, just showing the entire friend list (with paging, of course) may not be a bad idea.
