Well it might go other way too. 'Oh you don't have facebook account so you're not interesting and now I'll go talk to one that have it.' Needles to say that it might happen in other communications too but it's other thing.

And yes.. I did remove my account few years ago. There's been few times it might still cool but I would say that prety much all the people I want to see do not require FB-account.

My big quibble with all of these "click to log on" types of systems is they are a pain in the butt.

These are also frustrating when you use something Nokia E51 mobile phone. Problem is with small screeen and also Nokia's browsers sometimes isn't really good with these. It does work but it's a lot nicer when you can use normal open wlan.

Starbucks Frees Wi-Fi 241

CWmike sends in this excerpt from Computerworld: "Free unlimited Wi-Fi is coming to nearly 7,000 company-operated Starbucks stores in the US beginning July 1, Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz said on Monday. Schultz also said that Starbucks is partnering with Yahoo! to debut the Starbucks Digital Network this fall. Starbucks customers will have free unrestricted access to various paid sites and services, such as wsj.com, as well as other free downloads Starbucks didn't detail. A spokeswoman said the access will be 'unlimited' and 'simplified, one-click.' By comparison, first-time Wi-Fi users in Starbucks stores now get up to two hours free after registering, but then must purchase additional time at the rate of $3.99 for two consecutive hours. That Wi-Fi access is already free to AT&T DSL home customers and AT&T mobile customers, according to the Starbucks website, but the connection process requires up to nine steps. McDonald's added free Wi-Fi to 11,500 locations earlier this year."
