You may want to look at Yahoo also, which has just become an OpenID provider. It may be easier for people to sign up.<BR/><BR/>Drop me a mail (karmaliATgmailDOTcom), I'd love to discuss this further.Sowmya Karmalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09200953962645166407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445269723137820164.post-63661523736040872712008-02-07T02:01:00.000-08:002008-02-07T02:01:00.000-08:00We're glad you liked the sign up process.<BR/><BR/>We really don't need Captchas 'cause all the blogs are checked by an actual human being to keep out spam and to ensure that the blogger is Indian.<BR/><BR/>Openid is something we are looking into right now. We're trying to settle on a reliable provider - any advice?<BR/><BR/>The autocomplete for cleaner tags - brilliant!! Why didn't we think that??!

(although I don't think that captcha's are that irritating, its just that they're used way too often than necessary)<BR/><BR/>@Reena: Do you see any particular issue with OpenID? The lack of awareness among bloggers could be one.Sowmya Karmalihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09200953962645166407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445269723137820164.post-44256838611671194832007-12-28T00:08:00.000-08:002007-12-28T00:08:00.000-08:00Yeah, it is nice and I like your views as well. I am not sure about openid though. I had listed by blog at BlogAdda and found the registration form too simple there as well. In addition, the site looks cool as well!Reenanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445269723137820164.post-472652995902578942007-12-27T02:29:00.000-08:002007-12-27T02:29:00.000-08:00@vinodh Yes. The question can be funny and interesting too like<BR/><BR/>Whats the second name of britney spears? :P<BR/><BR/>This can also be used as a mechanism if you want to filter out your users by geography, intelligence or interest<BR/><BR/>Who is the hero of Lagaan?Umeshhttp://whitespace.umeshgopinath.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445269723137820164.post-60570995504598772382007-12-26T23:54:00.000-08:002007-12-26T23:54:00.000-08:00"Just to confirm that you are a human, answer this simple question<BR/><BR/>2 + 2 =<BR/><BR/>" Might work much better than a captcha...Vinodh Nandakumarhttp://techcruising.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4445269723137820164.post-5538134474761807312007-12-26T21:16:00.000-08:002007-12-26T21:16:00.000-08:00Like it. <BR/><BR/>I have always wondered why the login form was never doubled up as a registration form also; if all we need is a userid and pwd to start with. The user needs to just confirm if he is a new user or not just in case to accidently register existing users in case of mistyped pwds/userids. Its a bit tricky but not un achievable.<BR/><BR/>> Include a captcha, just to prevent spam.<BR/><BR/>Somehow i have always found captchas irritating. It doesnt make my life simple. Isnt there any other usable way of me confirming that i'm a human? If there isnt, can we think of something in those lines? Ideas welcome...Umeshhttp://whitespace.umeshgopinath.comnoreply@blogger.com
