Summary:
The usability of sign-up forms is a bugbear of any interface design  
professional. But what if the real hurdle wasn't usability, but  
motivation? Josh will show you techniques to motivate people to sign  
up for your web application, from leveraging social influence to  
getting rid of the sign up form completely!

Joshua Porter is the founder of Bokardo Design, an interface design  
and strategy shop focusing exclusively on social web applications. He  
recently wrote the book "Designing for the Social Web". When he is not  
designing web sites, Josh is speaking about it at conferences or  
writing about it at bokardo.com. He lets off steam by rock climbing  
and keeping up with his two-year old.
