bugmenot.com – newspaper registration database

Globbed from neil gaiman – are you someone annoyed by websites that demand “free registration” irrespective of whether you fit inside their typical customer demographic?

Some newspapers have begun to implement a: click here if you live outside [insert name of catchment area] opt-out, but if not then take a look at [www.bugmenot.com]

The only thing missing is automatic login and redirection. 😎

    You mean something like this:

    http bugmenot.mozdev.org/

    I’ve not tried it (yet) but it claims to do just what you ask.

    Tested it (on the NY Times) – it adds an item to your right-click menu, which pops up a small window with a login and password for you. Not entirely automatic – you have to copy/paste them into the form. Certainly more handy than going to the bugmenot.com site.
