45% Of Visitors Use Twitter To Connect To News Websites. Why? Because It’s Safer [INFOGRAPHIC]
Gigya, a company that provides technology that wraps the most popular social networking APIs (Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and others) into a single API, have created an interesting infographic that looks at the different online IDs that many people use to sign on to other websites via those oh-so convenient connect buttons.
But just how safe are these buttons? And how much of your online identity are you exposing?
The graphic breaks down these results into all sites, entertainment, news and business, and also provides a convenient chart that shows exactly what data you’re handing over to a website when you login with any one of these profiles.
Twitter scores particularly well in news websites, where some 45 per cent of users connect using this method, as opposed to second-place Facebook (25%) and Google (16%).
