The Results

Using Facebook to login to a survey leads to user drop-off and discomfort, which affects study results; hence, we found it’s best NOT to use a social login for survey research. Using the Pilotly Faux Socialfeed® is independent from respondents’ Facebook account and is the best option for testing content within the context of a Facebook news feed.
