It looks neat, but wow, I don't think that registration process could have been any worse. Have any of you HN'ers been accepted into the beta? Thoughts?

- carlosdp 13y agoI agree, looks like a very cool product, but really? Only alphanumeric, dashes, period, underscore, and @ symbol in password and no spaces? Why? And why not put that information on the form instead of in another link and not say why the password was rejected? Why is there a time limit of a few minutes on the confirmation code? I feel like I have to race the clock in order to register. I wish they had made a separate registration that matched the actual product's less-corporate style.

- cschmidt 13y agoMy code didn't come by the end of the countdown. I sat there and watched it tick down for a few minutes. It just arrived, a minute or so late. Great job IBM.
- cschmidt 13y agoWell at least they do approve the beta requests quickly. It seems to be based on http://cloudfoundry.com/ http://cloudfoundry.com/, which isn't obvious from their initial landing page.
- yahelc 13y agoI got approved for the Beta ~5 minutes after applying, so it seems like it's a pretty quick turnaround.
- kenlin 13y agoI registered just before 7:30am Eastern today and got two emails... @7:29am - Thanks for your interest in Codename BlueMix. We hope to reward your courage soon with a membership. We will be in touch shortly. @7:37am - You have been accepted as a BlueMix beta member.
