Rant on design of online registration forms

- Why must I specify a "user name". Why not just let me log in with my email address?
- Why must I type in my password twice? I'll probably get it right, and if I don't, I can just click Forgot Password? and you will email it to me.

I've often wondered this myself. And it would help to solve the problem of choosing a unique username, since everyone would just use their own email address.

Hi Sara - No doubt, hey? Some apps are starting to use email addresses for usernames (e.g. Bloglines).
