I’m really fond of anonymous or non-registered web sites. If you can please do it, and devise some smart way to not make people to have to register. Registering on yet an other site is annoying and most of the time its totally useless. I don’t want to register just to read your site. This is probably one of the reasons why bugmenot is popular.
But for most interaction you do not need registering either. At some web stores you can make an order by just filling out your personal information, no registering required. This making it easier for other people to contribute or buy. I plan on doing this on my new project, which I will uncover later.
I read some articles about how great OpenID is, and that this makes the login procedure easier, but why not allow anonymous comments on blogs (what it seems to be used the most for) instead of offloading your registration to an other party. OpenID is a big scam to give to phishers something nice to do and make their lives a lot easier.
