Thanks for everyone's replies. You've helped me to see things from
some different perspectives which weren't clear to me before. I'm
definitely going to make sure any intro form I have is as absolutely
simple and requires as little info as possible!
Thanks,

Back to the iphone topic, there are lots of tools for using HTML/JS to build
iphone apps.
Phonegap, http://www.phonegap.com, is open source and has limited support
for native tab bars. I built my first iphone app with this (iblipper.com).

I'm guessing Maurice was looking more out of curiosity than someone who
genuinely wants to develop apps.
His point is still valid of course. Making the form less painful might
result in more participation. Who knows though, maybe they made it that way
deliberately to keep the sign ups manageable?
I am guessing it had to do with the fact that he didn't want to share
all the personal information which is why most people don't feel
comfortable filling out so many forms online as well. But then again,
I am guessing. I do love the fact that Brandon Ripped Maurice a new

One of my favorite quotes - I love the power of the written language

You know, you could always enter fake information if you were *really*
