Given I am a political junkie in the electoral season of all seasons, I must say I’ve become addicted to polltrack.. while other polls I am familiar with need to be discounted to one extent or another due to bias, I find that polltrack is the first “call it as it is unfolding” website that I have found that I can rely on completely for unvarnished data and daily analysis. .. check it out

Google is represented out of context. That form has two parts.
You sign up for a Google account which allows you access all of the services google has to offer then it offers access to Google Video.

Erin edited the magazine. Its growth in depth, breadth, and maturity is thanks to her.

I don’t know precisely what Erin did for A List Apart, but I can only imagine it is immeasurable. I have forwarded many an article of hers, both from ALA and her own personal site–mostly to deaf ears–and I continue to learn from her.

All Hail, Erin!

Great articles. I’d almost forgotten Luke W’s segment at AEA Chicago, which was a real eye-opener. Looking forward to his book hitting the shelves.

I’m really sad to hear that Erin is stepping down as editor of ALA. I’ve only had the opportunity to work with her on two occasions, but both times she was responsive, brilliant, and careful. She’s what every editor should be–a guide and tutor. I always looked forward to her criticisms and suggestions, as they inevitably made my work shine that much brighter.

So, Erin, thank you for everything.

Sgn up forms must die is using a hammer to crack a nut – what Sign Up forms need to do is evolve so that we do’t have to worry about so many bloody passwords. Wouldn’t it be great to have a portal site to access those sites where we are members!

Yet another fine issue of ALA. I always find their articles fresh and inspiring, and this issue is no exception. I particularly loved the Sign Up Forms Must Die article and couldn't agree more on the numerous annoying forms one has to fill throughout the day. Thanks.

Big congratulations to all on the ALA staff front – sounds like quite a shuffle. Carolyn, wishing you continued success in this new position! Krista, Jason – I look forward to seeing your touch on ALA in new ways. And, Erin – as a long-time reader of ALA, I must simply say “thank you.”

I have to take issue with the article “Sign Up Forms Must Die”

Jump cut is not set up the way the article suggests. If you wish to create or do anything else you must have a Yahoo id.

Google is represented out of context. That form has two parts.
You sign up for a Google account which allows you access all of the services google has to offer then it offers access to Google Video.

Gradual Engagement is nonsense. It obfuscates the sign up process and segments the conformation process so that the terms of service and or acceptable use policy is not ACCESSIBLE before the fact. Trial lawyers anyone?

web design itself is an art which most of the people concentrate much. but without content no google ad can help

Good articles on A List Apart today. I especially like the philosophies in “Findability, Orphan of the Web Design Industry” – very intriguing; I’ll be sure to pass them along to my team.

I actually just did a post on my site a couple days ago with the same theme as “sign up forms must die”. I think people are really getting tired of the generic social networking format, it’s the same for most sites and hard to manage all the accounts. Hopefully OpenID will come on a little strong in 2008.
