Helping Surfers Sidestep Site Registration

netbuzz writes, "PrefPass, a startup debuting at DEMO today, is looking to do for the onerous Web site registration process what Amazon has done for shopping: one click and you get the goods. If it catches on, sites requiring full registration may feel the heat." Looks like sites will have an incentive to implement PrefPass; it's not antagonistic to their interests in the way Bugmenot is.

  1. oh well, fake registration... by gd23ka · · Score: 2, Funny

    But when I do let you know something about me, then know that even though I'm a high school dropout
    I am also a 22 year old 5"4 athletic blonde female and I just love the sex older men can give me and I'm
    interested in dating and romance. I like Billy Graham, Zachariah Sitchen but I hate Prince Phillip and
    I earn more than a hundred thousand dollars a year working as a pharma whore.

    When the checkout chick at Linens 'n Things asks me for my phone number I always answer, "What's the use? You'll never call me. You never do. I wait by the phone night after night hoping and praying but it never rings. Stop teasing me."

    this just holds information about what you like and your name, stuff like that. For all intents and purposes you are still anonymous

    I think that your definition of "anonymous" is different from most people's.
