Dan Pacheco writes about the launch of Bakomatic 2.0. The improved upload features sound pretty slick.  On registration, I’m not clear if he’s talking about on any particular site or in general, but what he describes still sounds like too high of wall for just reading stories (if I’m reading him right).  Registration should be tied to participation, not passive consumption. Also, it’s incorrect to say that Google News had any problem with the previous registration system. Bakersfield.com stories appeared in Google News just fine before. All-in-all, it’s nice to learn about the progress of Bakomatic. Thanks for sharing, Dan.
