Here's the article I got in an email newsletter about them:
Mia's Tech Tip: Use BugMeNotand avoid registering for websites
Do you ever follow a link on a website, click it, and then run into a wall because you have to register in order to gain accesss to the linked site? Maybe you're just not interested in registering because it's a one time thing and you're not likely to ever go back to that site again in the next ten years. You'd just rather not register, thank you very much. BugMeNot was started with just this scenario in mind. It's a registration sharing tool - you share your logins and pick up other people's logins so you don't have to register for hundreds of websites you're not going to go back to on a regular basis. It couldn't be simpler to use; you just type in the url of the website you want access to, and if someone's provided a login for that site, it'll immediately pop up. If you want to contribute a login to share the joy, that's simple and quick too. BugMeNot also offers disposable email addresses when you can't avoid providing an email address.
The same people also created RetailMeNot, another time-saving tool, especially for those of us who shop a lot online. When you get to that part in the checkout process where you're asked for any promotional or discount codes, instead of wondering whether you've missed out on a bargain, you can check RetailMeNot for discounts rather than searching all over the Internet.
