GILT originally had the same approach but changed it as curiosity grew. By locking out purchasing to registered users only - my wording was vague. Allow users to see what you have, even if it's faded out with a box above showing users how to gain access to what they see behind the "Registration Wall." GILT did this best.

3. I didn't see it. Using lazy registration is better viewed through the lens of "What information can I use to grow." With Google+ , Twitter - what information does it give you to help you grow?

Facebook gives you a large amount of information about the user, their connections and more - but the network isn't as hip as it once was - therefore, make both forms of registration equally accessible. - Promote connecting with Facebook after registration for those who chose not to in the beginning. Show the benefits such as connecting with friends, showing what's popular etc to help. Also, beware of relying on facebook data as email address are now "@facebook.com" by default and others have unreachable college email address. Give them the option to change their email address while keeping their Facebook UserID intact.
