I can confirm that the couple of times Google sent me to Quora I left the site as as soon as they required my registration to read, not just post.
Side note: do people really use "sign up with <...>" buttons? I can't imagine agreeing to let facebook snoop on my browsing habits outside their site, or let twitter tweet on my behalf.
In what way would you predict that allowing facebook to snoop your browsing habit will have an impact on your life?
I can't speak for shminux, but for me (weighted possible future effects of more surveillance) + (visceral disappeal of facebook in general and it recording my activities specifically) would be significantly greater than (a few additional seconds of inconvenience)
[Some of this might be rationalization, especially the visceral distaste. I was about to add a term for the possibility of my behavior being broadcast to my acquaintances in some manner, but I realized I had thought of that after making my decision.]
