Agree with both of these comments. I want to feel involved. Plus, if I'm using a website to the extent that I'm going to want a username and password I pretty much expect that I may have to fill out more information upon registration so it is not as bothersome. It also depends on what your website offers. If you are selling products (like ebay), instant gratification also comes into the picture. Whenever I'm shopping online and go to "checkout" I'm much more satisfied when I my information is already in the system and I can checkout with a few clicks, rather than having to enter all the information, etc. before I can actually purchase my product. Re: your reference to Craiglist, sometimes I wish I did have an account with Craigslist so I could see my selling/buying history or have my email address or phone number stored. Again though, depends on what your website is offering...
