I don't like FB but it does let you look at some things even if you don't have an account whereas Ravelry, which is *already* on the list of linkable sites, absolutely won't so I don't think it'd be fair to say no to FB because of this.

Not quite true; you can share Ravelry projects etc, they just default to closed and you have to actively open it up to share it with people outside.

I was thinking about profiles. Every Ravelry user tag I've seen redirected me to the login page. Have I just been unlucky?
