I think the idea is pretty cool, but why do you need so much information (first name, last name, email address, birthday)?
If you just required a username and a password, and then made everything else optional, I think you'd get a lot more signups.
I didn't feel like giving you all that information so I didn't bother creating a login... but if you haven't done it already have you considered adding voting to the pictures? This would be a perfect use-case for the new Facebook "Like" buttons. Thinking about it, maybe Facebook connect would be a good idea as well.
[Edit: You may want to do something better for your privacy policy if you are going to require all this information. Big blocks of "lorem ipsum" text aren't very confidence inspiring. You may also want to change the "you're bound by the ToS when you register" text until you actually have some terms of service.]
- symbiotic 17y agoWe do need birthday because you have to be at least 13 to register but you're right about the rest, especially the TOS... going to fix that now :)
- icey 17y agoYou may want to look in to FB Connect, I think it will solve a lot of those issues for you.
- symbiotic 17y agoYeah FB Connect is a great idea! I think many of my potential users are probably already on facebook already. As far as the TOS go, I'm a little too poor right now to hire a lawyer but the university near me has a great program where law students (supervised by a lawyer) offer free services to entrepreneurs. I'm signed up for that program but it doesn't start until June. Any suggestions for how to fill that privacy policy and tos in the mean time?
- icey 17y agoI'd remove them both for the time being, you don't need all that formality yet.
