It’s just data
I'm working on a membership registration service for intertwingly. At the moment, it simply replies that all ids are unavailable, but it will shortly send out confirmation emails and process responses.
Details on what I intend this service to be for can be found on the registration page. Feedback welcome.
Do "subscription services" mean syndication services as well?

PS: Your spell checker needs to learn that "API" is not a typo. :)

P.S. Check back tomorrow for more details.

I'm sorry, userid "chanezon" is unavailable. Please try another id.
What do you mean not available ?
I'm the only geek in my family and we're the only one to use that name.
Did you pre-register me by any chance ?-)
Or rae there constraints on the userids that are not explicit on the form ?
You need a privacy policy.

I look forward to registration: a feature that would let me remove my previous stupid comment would come in handy just right now !

Sheesh. I'm beginning to wonder if anybody actually reads my weblog entries any more. ;-)

Mark: can't I simply adopt Scott McNealy's? ;-)
Posted by Sam Ruby atI double-dog-dare you to use some of the language from dive into mark premium (specifically the "freeloaders") part.
Posted by Mark atMark - trust me, that had crossed my mind. ;-)
Posted by Sam Ruby atIt would be nice if the form retained input when registration fails due to unavailabale ids or whatever. Yes I did read the blog and I do know that is expected :-)
I wonder if the ability to update comments a good idea?
Posted by Conor MacNeill atConor: re: retaining input: done.
re: update comments... time will tell. For now, lets call this a long term plan.
Posted by Sam Ruby atMaybe update coupled with a revision control system, like Twiki did with its RCS support (for each wiki page you have a list of revisions and can look at the differences, or the older versions). Thus as a comment poster you can control the final content of a comment post, but the history of your revisions will be there for all to see.
