Shareaholic V7, wrong way! very wrong way!

Hello,

Since the update people are complaining about the settings, the alignment, and the settings panel.
Probably none of you have even tried clicking on the “new” buttons shareaholic 7 add to your pages and posts.

Before :
if a user is already logged in to his facebook account in his browser, on your blog, he just had to click on “like” or “share” or “g+” to have the effect immediately sent to his facebook account, and the counter shows an increment to the number.

Now :
The user clicks on “share” (no more simple “like” buttons?) and the user gets a jquery popup that asks him to signin to facebook (even if he is already signed in) and in fact, he is registering to shareaholic, then he is directed to his facebook page, where the shareaholic app asks for permission to access private info, and publish on behalf of the user!

This is nonsense

To shareaholic staff:
Did you really think this would do it?
If this goes on, we will probably lose 90% of likes and shares, because no one wants to register to your stupid service, and no one wants your stupid app to publish stuff on there behalf.

The new design is nice, the new panel is too, but your attempt to expand the scope of your control over users and their information is not going to work, and all you will harvest is the loss of your user pool, and your notoriety.

But it is obvious that this is not just a “we’ll try and see” tryout, and this has been thought for some time, so i’m afraid you will not go back on this decision, and keep trying out your new system.
So in this line of thoughts, i am sorry to realize that i will have to say good bye, and i am on my way to find another system, and even implement like buttons myself from the facebook API, to protect my independence and my reader’s confidentiality.

Thank you for all you have done before,
No thanks for what you are trying to do from now on.
