Bug Me Not

I don't know about you, but I get annoyed when after visiting a site for a few minutes, tracking down the information I need, the site then requires me to register -- another seemingly unnecessary step for users depending on the site. I also feel as though I was tricked into spending time on the site and then hitting a roadblock between me and the information I am seeking.

Bugmenot.com is a website designed to combat against this site phenomena. According to the blog-like site, its purpose is to "BugMeNot.com was created as a mechanism to quickly bypass the login of web sites that require compulsory registration and/or the collection of personal/demographic information (such as the New York Times)."

I'm not sure what would take up more of my time, just filling out the annoying online registration forms or finding a way around it using BugMeNot.

I like the disposable email addresses and the shared coupons. When I have some time, I'll have to check out if the things on this site really work. Thanks.
