I'll bring it up with the team. After talking with Zygar for a good 3 hours last night, I want to really start listening and ask users what they think/want/like/dislike/find valuable in hubski. He pointed out that assumptions and gut instincts may lead us down a narrow path. As much as I would love to spend the rest of my internet life with people who think, like, and feel the same way as me, a variety of personalities is much more interesting. :P

That said, personally I create new accounts on sites to keep things from being linked too heavily because of past experiences and horror stories and doxxing. I've noticed an increase in Twitter/Facebook sign up options on sites so perhaps it may be valuable or convenient for others. Hubski doesn't ask for a ton of information either - just username and password and email, but I guess having the option to have it auto-pulled from Twitter is more convenient.

If implemented, it would need to be an option along with the traditional log in because I don't think a lot of our users (especially redditors) would be appreciative of this.

If anyone else wants to throw their two cents in on this, I'll take note.
