"Black THIS Out" Money Bomb site is LIVE!

Collecting ZIP code sounds like we have a consensus on. However, collecting full address I'm against because I wouldn't even do that and I'm pretty liberal about privacy concerns.

Someone mentioned something about sending free stickers. Getting the full address could be optional. But if people are registering with just an email address (and it seems like this easily could be the case), really, almost everything is optional.

Well, I think that dusman agrees with this basic approach, as do you and I.

People will be registering to pledge. But the way dusman sees it happening is like this:

Person enters, only, their email address. And then hits a button.
Cannot be simpler.

Then the website sends an email to the email address. That email thanks them and automatically assigns them a username and a password.
Tells them about the site, tells them the benefit of full registration.

If they want to complete the full registration, they can. If they don't, they don't have to.

But they are in the system, and their pledge will be counted, just by entering in their email, and clicking a button, which could say "pledge".

I'm currently looking at widgets. Ron Paul supporters can grab the code, with the simple "sign up to the email list" code (we're calling it pledging) and paste that code anywhere they can paste code.

People could simply enter their email and hit "pledge" whereever they see the code on the internet. They wouldn't even have to go to the website.

Exactly right. Actually there really isn't even a need to find a widget.. after looking at it, I can simply use an iframe with the form and let others embed the code, similar to how YouTube works.

Need an accessibility report from a few of you. After half a day of headaches with DNS propagation problems.. I think we are in working order for the most part. We still have potential 24 hour time period for propagation.. but can you all go to www.blackthisout.com and confirm or deny that you have access?

Also provide location if you don't have it listed.. if you don't mind please!

This is starting to percolate on the back burner, while 9/17 gets ready to boil on the front....

You should add a section with links that would direct people to send comments and complaints to media outlets.
