Stop the Blog Registration Demands!!!
By Eric Brown | May 21st, 2008 | Category: News |There is a problem on the Internet right now; in particular with blogs. Why would anyone require registration to comment on a blog? With web 2.0 growing the way it is, social networking spreading like wildfire, and web 3.0 on the tip of tounges, you would think a blog post about online PR (better yet an interview with David Meerman Scott, author of The New Rules of Marketing and PR) wouldn’t require registration to comment.
Well if that is what you thought, you (like I) were wrong. I found an outstanding interview with DM Scott this morning, read it in it’s entirety, was all excited to comment…and then had to register. Needless to stay I did not register. I may never go back to that particular blog it there isn’t another post like this one, but now I have some registered account floating out there somewhere, not to mention the time involved with it.
Why aren’t people using other options like OpenID or something?
Maybe they will take their own PR advice and make it more public friendly to comment…
