Your bound to get it right if you had to type it twice. I'm thrown off from creating accounts, if I really like a site, then I will - otherwise I'm gone.

A program that could recognize what text-fields are related to what questions. 2. A program that interprets questions and enters answers from a pre-filled questionaire. 3. A program that navigates a registration website, allowing the other two programs to function. Are we really that far from those three goals? Travelocity sign-up isn't exactly the Turing Test.

Now the start up that can do that and get it used by lots of other internet sites is the one that I will be interested in following. I've already signed up to loginlogin.com to see what that does. I will happily sign up anywhere that will lessen my signupitis. This is really a interesting experiment, it just goes to show you how much we really need Federated Identity Managment.
