> When I sign up to a web service, I don't want to faff around uploading an image to use as my avatar. I want that service to look at my email address or social-sign-in and automatically pick up my preferred graphic.
"Faff around" meaning, like, probably four or so clicks?
It's the same argument for social sign in. Most people can't be bothered with the faff of typing in an email address and password, then clicking on their email to verify, then adding their name.
So they click "Sign in with Facebook / Twitter / GitHub".
