Hey Brian.

I just read through Google's terms of use, and couldn't find something
that explicitly indicated that, I guess I'll just wait and see if
Google harasses me.

Yah. I'm still working on getting more sites crawled, also, results
will hopefully get more relevant as people vote.

Unfortunately, signing up is necessary to vote and suggest sites, I
think this is necessary for two main reasons:
1) It stops tons of spam sites from being suggested, since the people
who suggest sites have taken the time to sign-up.
2) Secondly, I need to make sure that the same person doesn't vote for
the same web-site many times in a row (for instance their own web-
site), an account is the best way to prevent this.

On a positive note, I've just gotten my Blogging engine (from a
previous years project), up and running, so as a fringe benefit of
signing up you also now get your own blog, which uses a unique - and I
think nifty - editing system. I'm going to index these Blogs on a
regular basis as well, and hopefully they'll constitute a significant
portion of the search results.

Ben.
