BILL HOBBS rounds up some items on newspaper websites and registration. I’ll add another point: the registration schemes suck.

The Insta-Wife got interviewed today by someone from the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, who bragged that the paper had over 300,000 registered users. “Yeah,” I responded. “I’m five or six of them.” That’s because their site, like a lot of others, doesn’t remember me, and often won’t accept my username/password. I had assumed that was technical ineptitude, but maybe it’s a clever scheme for inflating readership stats. . . .

More thoughts on this stuff in this column.
