If I understand, you're saying people use your site to do a bit of video editing. In this case, I guess the purpose of registration is to save user state, beyond sessions/cookies. Therefore, you could simply have a 'save' button, only askin

Sorry if I came across as overly critical - I wasn't suggesting that your conclusion is invalid, but that the experiment would only apply to a fairly narrow class of website (e.g. "mortgage-leads... business-leads... diet-pills... and ringt

Basically I like it, but it could be more user-friendly, communicating what you do with significantly less cognitive load. Needs a tagline with the logo - tell me very quickly what it is you do. Could even use the intro sentence "[Virtualm

The xss vulnerabilities in Reddit aren't a great example, since they haven't harmed the service, same for the password fiasco even. Reddit's problems are more conceptual: not fixing the recommendation engine and not thinking through the gam
