Someone on this list sent me to platial.com and this website gave me a few thoughts about their sign-up process.
I do appreciate the easiness. I am only required to fill four mandatory fields and one optional. (maybe instead of homebase it should say home city, for those that aren't english natives) And thank God, there's no captcha and no activation email. I can use my account right away. I do get an email, stating, among others, that: " If you were not expecting this email, simply ignore it, no further action is required to terminate the request." 1. Is this process secure enough? Of course, it's easy on the users. Do you guys do something magical behind the curtains that we can't tell? Or I could just create a script and spam away? 2. If you were not expecting this email, simply ignore it? If another person created an account with my email address... I simply couldn't ignore this. I want to correct the issue, and I want Platial to do it for me. I also think that #1 points out to a more general concern about the app's perceived security. What do you think? Isn't this too much of a no-hassle sign-up for the user? Thanks. -- -------------------------------------- http://nomorestories.com/ -------------------------------------- ________________________________________________________________ Welcome to the Interaction Design Association (IxDA)!
