    Nah, I’m not gonna register to comment on a blog. They may as well install Disqus or Intense Debate. I don’t think I like anyone’s blog enough to register just to comment.

    Not going to lie. I did register on a few sites because they are blogs that I frequent. However, I am now so sick of typing in my information that I have now decided that I am done registering. I can always comment on FF or Twitter.

    It is seriously is a boring task to register even to post a single 2 sentence comment.I usually don’t register and keep the comment to myself rather than register.I only register at places I regular visit.

    Stan, I am the same way, but now I am refusing to even do that. The use the excuse that it’s to keep spammers out, but I think it’s just to have a way to collect stats.

    I won't register. It' a shame because I think that a lot of blogs lose out on comments because they expect readers to register first.

    They really do. I wish I could sit down with five webmasters of sites that make you register and ask them the why of this.

    I don’t like registering to leave a comment. I mean what is the point? Every blogger really wants to have some readers on his or her site, why then should they make it hard. I think they will lose readers in the end if they try to implement that on their site.

    The major newspapers and sites do that, but even then, I’d rather discuss it in some third-party social networking sites, than have to remember what name and password I used.

    Let’s say you find something you really want to comment on but have to register. What do you do? I usually go on Twitter or Friendfeed and comment there.

    Even I wouldn’t register to just put a comment on a blog. Why go through all that hassle just to give our opinion where we don’t get anything back at least.
