I was happy to find your article from 27.Oct 2005, «Great Content Ahead.» I put it up today on www zumGlockenturm org along with a picture of and link to BugMeNot. Find it on page 3, or directly at http://www.esnips.com/doc/bf14f81a-c58a-4d03-808e-a292a3c3b649/Great_Content_Ahead

My introductory blurb reads: “For those who don’t know about BugMeNot.com, Meryl Evans recites the bad old days where barriers to such sites as the NY Times demanded several «Screens of IDs and passwords – a giant mess.» Her thoughtfully indirect style goes on to show where the real mess lies.– «Barriers likely incite more walk aways than new members. Many users have gotten wise to the registration process and enter phony info [with] a junk email address.» ”

Yours is a good article especially for newcomers to the Internet. For I think a lot of people, BugMeNot is esoteric and geeky until, of course, they have a go.

At the main BugMeNot screen a menu item reads «Friends of BugMeNot.» I was surprised to find NearlyFreeSpeech net and had to post its logo also, along with a short blurb.

Sincerely,
mit herzlichem Gruß
