Sign Up and Sign In in Seconds Flat
Posted on June 5th, 2008 in New and Improved
Honestly, signing up for a new website (and even signing in to sites you’ve been visiting for years) can be such a chore.
So, we’ve tightened things up to make signing up and signing in to Howcast as quick and easy as possible…
Sign In in Seconds
Now, whenever we need you to sign in to mark a favorite or add a video to a playlist, we show you a quick little dialog where you can type in your username and password and sign in — right on top of your current page. (There’s nothing worse than clicking on something, being taken to an anonymous page to sign in, and forgetting why you bothered in the first place.)
We even remind you why you need to sign in, with a custom message on each dialog (e.g. “Get updates on new videos from this contributor…” if you clicked Subscribe).
Goodbye census-like questions. Hello, four easy steps.
Of course, many of you might not have had a chance to join Howcast as of yet, so we’ve also tightened up that sign-up experience as well.
To join Howcast, all you need to do is:
- Provide your email address
- Come up with a catchy user name and password
- Agree to our legalese
- Hit Sign Up
Amazing, huh? We think so, but take it for a spin and let us know what you think.
