Hi Julie,
You'll want to run out and get Luke Wroblewski's "Web Form Design"
book, and scan & send out parts of Chapter 13 on Gradual Engagement.
Fantastic stuff about working to eliminate monolithic registration
forms in favor of progressive sign-up steps that serve user's
immediate goals. It's revolutionized a couple designs I've done lately.
Cheers,
Liz

Does anyone have any examples of articles discussing the cons of
having a
sign-up process before using an application that requires personal

back on
how asking for personal info when someone just wants to try out your
app is
a huge turn off to users (for obvious reasons) and you really want
to reduce
all barriers to entry.
Have you written or read something like this recently? I want to
share some
references with a client.
