Hey Scott, Love the article. I’m currently working on an app that is a combination of Cordova and Monotouch, so this has been immensely helpful. Unfortunately when I tried to make the Cordova monotouch binding, and then reference that from my Project, I get an NSInvaidArgumentException unregognized selector sent to instance when I attempt to create an instance of CDVViewController. Any idea how I can get around that?

Comment on Worst registration form on the internet? DZone.com by Chris Weldon

Sure enough, this practice is still going on. I remembered running into this problem about 6 months ago as well and just forgot it and dropped registration. But, when I tried again (this time with my non-Google Voice number), it let me through. The most assinine registration policy (that isn’t even up-front about it!)

Comment on Minimum lengths for usernames. Wtf?! by Sam

I finally googled “Why put character minimums for user names” and got this blog post. Amen to your compaint, and it’s not just Zoho – it’s plenty of other places where spam isn’t a concern. My student loan management website requires 8 characters minimum for the user name.

This has nothing to do with password strength. The username is identify you, not verify that ID (that’s the passwords job). So let my ID be anything I want, so long as its unique. Or at the very least, make your parameters extreme, so people who have been using the same 7 char username since the dawn of the internet don’t have to start remembering 3-4 usernames along with all those passwords.

SOOOO ANNOYING.

I agree that having a shorter email/handle/login is desirable for us users, but you also have to realize that spam doesn’t only affect us users, but also the service providers themselves. So GMail, Zoho, et al, save money by not having to handle the spam sent to short-named accounts.

I’m glad to see this irks someone else – and to think I thought I could escape the clutches of gmail! Sadly changing my email address is way more hassle than I can cope with.
