Hi, i am in the final stages of building my site and i am allowing users to sign up to my site using Facebook and Twitter, however i have just noticed that Twitter do not know / record your Gender, which is a requirement for my site... My service needs to know your gender in order to work. Question: Should i remove the "Signup With Twitter" option or should i look at some way of getting the user to select their Gender after the join... thanks in advance
You could use a temporary page to ask them that question if it's required. You also should probably have a traditional sign up system. There's quite a few people, myself included, that will never use 3rd party authentication especially someone like facebook.
I personally dislike both the sign up with twitter & facebook options. I rather create an easy registration field myself.
I also agree with both of you... However the options still need to be provided for other users... And I have also not only provided the email option but I have provided the full join form under those buttons. Now back to the topic What shall I do with twitter?
I would do a intermediate page where they have to enter their gender or other information. Just make the account in some sort of suspended state until they complete the information.
