Rebel Dekadance 's insight:
I would love to see the compiled data concerning these challenging aspects of online registratoin forms - (simply just the worst of the worst in my opinion haha)
I COMPLETELY agree with what was stated above - NOTHING irritates me more than when a website asks me immediately to sign up and fill out a form - I mean DAMN can I atleast see if it would be worth my while first? It comes off as cold, unfriendly, to 'corportae-like' (meaning they don't care about you just getting your info)
Awesome stats in this as well! Definitely a great read.
