		<description>I quite don't see what Adam is visioning. I usually fill buch of garbage info on the site that I don't need to purchase anything, so not an issue for me. Personalizatio means more Ad, more spam.</description>

		<description>Mike &#38; Adam, appreciate the response and further insight.    

Adam,
I've followed the link to your blog as well as the newsite to further understand the use case. So, from what you've written and from what I understood I think this isn't for sites that really require us to submit email address and other details so that they can later send me material of interest.

Also, this probably isn't for the sites that offer only subscription based content? 

I guess I'd wait for the invite to really understand this :)</description>

		<description>Marshall,

Might want to set border=1 round that image so that it looks like its separate from the text in the post.  Kind of hard to tell.

Onward!

		<description>Marshall - Thanks much for the write-up, and the feedback!

Mike - Thanks for the kind words.

Pro SEO - Good point; I agree that many sites that wall off content shouldn't do so. But the thing is, if you don't get *some* info on reader prefs, it's hard to make decent money on your ad space. The idea of PrefPass is to help sites get anonymous reader data without any hassles or privacy concerns. And that includes sites that don't wall off anything! Check out &lt;a href="http://econometa.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;my blog&lt;/a&gt; for an example.

Startup - Point well taken; but we're just in private beta! Give us a chance, we'll get some "mass market" publishers on board. In the meantime, you can check out an example of how a news site could use PrefPass at &lt;a href="http://yoursupernews.com/" rel="nofollow"&gt;YourSuperNews.com&lt;/a&gt;.

		<description>Startup - the idea is that all participating sites would receive many of the benefits of registration without requiring their users to register personally with countless different sites. This is an idea that will solve problems wherever publishers get on board.</description>

		<description>"without giving up personal information or going through tedius registration forms."

How exactly can I avoid registering on say for example, nytimes.com and yet be able to read its content using prefpass?

If a site/service has to suceed with the masses other than the techcrunch crowd, then it needs to solve some real problems.</description>

		<description>Too many solutions to prollems that don't need to exist. Sites shouldn't hide stuff behind members areas if it's free to join. Don't they understand that they will get more traffic and more people coming back if they just did away with members only stuff?</description>

		<description>Very cool idea.  The concept of portable trust and preferences with decent security / privacy guarantees is long overdue on the web.  Good luck guys.</description>
