Comments

In the last couple of weeks I have been frustrated and annoyed by a number of blogs, newspapers and other websites that have comments systems that require me to signup.

When I read an interesting storyline I sometimes get that urge to reply or leave an alternate viewpoint, come on, dont we all from time to time?

It adds to and enriches the original story that was posted. In most cases!

I understand spam is a major frustration, it is for all of us, yet I just don’t have the time to signup for umpteen websites that I may only visit once a year, in some cases less.

Now, I am happy to fill out captcha’s and work out a few bits of math or click on an email link to verify I am real and not some nutcase selling herbal appendage enhancements. That is fair enough.

So anyone with a blog or a website or in a position of power at any organisation, please, think of us poor lowly users out here and let us join in, it lets us vent, show our thoughs and generally engage with your content, which ultimately helps you.

This posting is my comment, to all of you.
