Today TwinF got a nice link from MSNBC blogger Will Femia, who has a blog called "Clicked" that chronicles what he clicked on the web recently.  Will writes:

 These people are going around the world and are asking for your tips and pointers.  I'm not sure what the registration is about, I guess to keep out spam.  It doesn't look like they're trying to sell anything.

Will is right on both counts.  We have registration to keep out (or help control) spammers. Running a blog from the road will mean that we have compromises. One of which is requiring registration for people to add comments and Travel Experiences, which will likewise limit the amount of comments from well-meaning visitors.

Second, TwinF is not about selling or making money.  Using this site as a tool to sell something would go against the things we believe about what will make it work.  We believe that people are good and want to help and selling something would limit that trust. 

I should say that we do have some sponsorships in the works, but that is as close to selling as you'll see on TwinF.
