Turned Away By Free Registration
I saw something on Slashdot that I'm interested in. It contains a link to an Interview which when followed greeted me with this:
Guess what I did?
- Spend five minutes registering?
- Tried the web default "username/password" literal pair?
- Closed the tab and moved on to the next tab?
I have come to believe that websites that want you to go through a free registeration process secretly don't want you to enter their site.
Had there not been a free registration speed bump, I might have lingered on for a few more minutes, maybe even bookmarked the page, or, better still, throw it into my del.icio.us mix.
But apparently I'm not the kind of reader they want.
Whatever!
