a small differentiator to people who are serious about paying, imo.

definitely. but most people find out they're willing to pay after trying out a bunch of services. and it's always tough to unlist yourself from all the e-mail spam that follows once you've found the service you want to stay with. but I get the argumentation, requiring e-mail on fruji.com for the same reasons.
EDIT: Just one thing that differentiates this little thing from the ones you mentioned: I don't require your e-mail address to proceed. Couldn't test the sites you mentioned for that reason, wouldn't let me go past that.
