Hi all,
From today we're introducing an additional way to log into Mumsnet using Facebook and Google.
You'll most likely have seen the social sign-in option on other websites - it means if you're already logged into Facebook/Google, you can use that log in to get onto Mumsnet without having to remember another.
We know lots of folks have concerns about preserving their anonymity on Mumsnet but to be clear this will in no way compromise that. Key points to note are:
You absolutely don't have to use this function unless you want to; the usual log-in procedure is still in available to everyone.
Your Mumsnet nickname and your real-life name will never be linked.
Your Facebook friends will not know you're on Mumsnet.
We will never post on your Facebook page.
As per our T&Cs we would never pass on your data outside of MN without your express permission
We've shown this feature to and received some useful feedback from a number of Mumsnet regulars, who kindly looked it over for us 
and as a result have come up with a list of FAQs
If you have any questions or concerns, then please do ask and any feedback on this is, as always, welcome
