This works well for smaller signups where you don’t get a huge number of new bloggers on a daily basis, and where spammers have proven to be a general nusiance, a potential embarrasement, as well as a time suck.

A nice solution for localizing apps without using separate nib files for each language by loading strings at runtime.

For developers and designers of successful (and profitable) web based applications, time and careful attention are given to the page where the users sign up or give their money.
