Forced Registration: Isn’t There a Better Way?

Interesting post a Poynter.com about the growing trend of forced registration to read articles on media sites.
Had the shock of my life when I discovered to my horror that my old home town rag, the Sydney Morning Herald, was about to introduce registration. Whilst I’ll probably register here, there are plenty of sites that I dont visit because of registration. Lets just hope that some of the bigger blogs don’t start heading in this direction as well.
