Seriously, I went to Digg a post, and I wanted to connect with my FaceBook user Id, cause for some reason I didn’t remember my Digg password, so I proceeded to connect with Facebook.

All was good until it stated, “Looks like you already have a Digg Account.” Well Okay, I thought and so I then did remember it, “I guess” so I entered that info. It did find me, “I guess” (Not much feedback from that page)

But I thought the whole point was to log in with my FaceBook credentials??? Apparently not. Apparently, they just want to associate the account. I’m not really a great fan of leaving around 50,000 personally identifiable pieces of information everywhere, but whatever.

Anyway, I select not to share my photo, and not to follow my FaceBook friends on Digg. Then I click the submit button, and whoila…

Digg & Facebook Not Communicating

Anybody elese think that this error was a little bit dumb? And not just because it’s an error, but because it tells you nothing about why it happened. To me as a developer, irritates me mildy. Every web application has errors, but developers need to show the user exactly why the error ocurred, intead of some generic message, but of course, I’m an Internet Madman. So my opinion means very little to some and more to others. Of course the developers probably know exactly what happened, and to that I give them credit, but as a developer myself, I hate when stuff fails to work (and I don’t know the reason). And that’s my vent for the day.
