Mimeo Lounge

Registration Has Its Privileges
Although we allow Lounge users to read and comment on all posts without registering, there are several benefits to making your participation “official”. One, only registered users are eligible to receive the weekly $50 Amazon.com gift card we award to those who actively participate in the community. Two, as a registered user you have the option of receiving email notifications when other users or Mimeo employees reply to your posts or comments. Three, registered Lounge users will be given priority to Beta test new product offerings. And four, only registered users can submit their own posts through the Submit Your Ideas section. So come on, even if the second, third, and fourth reasons don’t interest you, we know you want to be eligible for the 50 bucks!

For peace of mind, our registration database will always remain private, and your email address will never be re-distributed to advertisers.
