Comment on Ask YC: Sign-up Form Usability

Comments

bad idea, most people will just get confused because they can't find a "Sign up" or "Register" link on the page. So they will just leave in frustration.

And it won't help to have a few sentences telling them what to do, because the whole concept is so foreign, noone does this.

Do you really want to bother with teaching every user this concept? I mean this is such a trivial thing, and will cause nothing but problems.

And like someone mentioned you'll flood your database with a lot of typo addresses and will frustrate users even further, because instead of them getting into user@hotmail.com account, they ended up in uswr@hotmail.com

actually you could just have one link that says something like login / register
