Community Building is about membership and growth on a community site is directly associated with new registrations. Sites that use Facebook connect or Twitter sign-in have experienced an impressive increase in membership growth and there is also some rival discussions regarding which method is better. Well, there is no need for you to chose sides - you can have both methods working for you as of today!
