Wordpress.com invite without installing Flock

Want a wordpress.com invite but don't want the hassle of installing flock? Well, install the User Agent Switcher extension for Firefox and change your user-agent string to 

Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8b5) Gecko/20051019 Flock/0.4 Firefox/1.0+

Not that I really needed one anyway, but I already had the extension installed for other reasons…[via]

    […] I’ve got two Wordpress.com invites to give away - they expire within about 5 days so I will give them to the first two people to comment asking for them. Of course I don’t really see the point in the invites any more since you can get them for free by using Flock, and now that you can get them for free without using Flock they’re worth even less. […]

    Nice..

    Personally I can’t see how ‘cheating the system’ can help anyone. Of course it should not be as simple as changing user agent strings.. however it’s still imho not the right thing to do. The wordpress.com service can only go down hill if hundreds of blogs start appearing - you can bet there will be a goodly portion of spam blogs to round out the mix.
