Who would have thought that all aspects related to fundraising would need to be hard!

Here, I am specifically referring to the sign-up process of the commenting system at fundrasing.co.uk.

My whole objective was to just leave a partial comment on a subject matter that is on discussion in the blog {literally 5 minutes ago} which the subject matter has already left my thoughts.  but the process was lengthy to say the least.  It seems they have decided to incorporate certain elements of a lightweight social network profile form with a stack load of questioning.

The current phase of commenting for the web has expanded to solutions the like of intensedebate, twitter,  and friendfeed.

People feel no longer compelled to connect to a single destination, but the ability to scatter their thoughts and leave the trail in the wind.   The average person is interacting with more and more information and content now is more about the user-generation, for this growth you have to open the doors to this type of interaction.

You have concerns about spam, deal with it!  There is technology and solutions that are countering spam all the time, its a part of online life; but certainly should not hinder providing a better experience for your visitors.

But alas my experience with fundraising.co.uk has been short lived since after going through the entire process of signing up and providing answer  about company, charity registration, bio, level of funds, blah, blah, blah I am dealt with this page whilst attempting to login:
