Requiring an account is a back button.
The real reason. This should be explained on the site.
Ghostery informed me that it had to block Facebook Connect, but this surely isn't the intended landing page, even if I _do_ hate Facebook crap? I mean - I could at least use the links above and see the about page, but for a landing page this is kind of baad.
L.E: Unblock Facebook connect in Ghostery.
Either way, I really enjoy the iPhone/Android app!
I agree though, I don't like the IE logo on the top right of the page. Call my crazy, but I am really fond of the simple, clean, eligant display on the iPhone/Android. Plus I just don't like IE.
As far as requiring an account - While I do see the merit in requiring registration, I think it should just load up the interface, and require registration if they would like to save their list of sources for when they visit the website later. Not to mention, noting that the sources and everything sync's across platforms is definetly a plus.
Good luck to you!
Cheers!
Edit: Issue resolved after reloading the page
Well executed, congrats to the Pulse team.
