Yahoo Turns To The Enemy To Simplify User Registration

“Yahoo is poised to let people use their Google Inc. and Facebook Inc. identities to sign on to Yahoo,” says this article from earlier today.

In fact Yahoo has let users create new accounts on Flickr with their Google credentials since last summer. It’s been tested as part of an internal Yahoo project to spur user signups. A lot of people apparently bail out during the account creation process at various Yahoo sites. Part of the problem is that the process is lengthier than it needs to be because you’re also effectively signing up for a Yahoo email account, too. Even if you never use that account. There’s so much spam with email that there are a lot of extra steps with account creation.

We’ve heard from sources that test has worked spectacularly well. After the addition of Google, account signups have increased by more than 20%, apparently, which is more than 10,000 new accounts daily that they otherwise would have lost. There’s no promotion of this, that extra 20% is just from higher conversions during the signup process. Fewer people are bailing out.

Facebook comes next, an obvious step. Which should increase conversions a whole lot more.

How to write a FaceBook Application in 10 minutes June 18

Writing F8 apps is where it’s at right now. Everybody knows it. The userbase is huge and now we have a (free) API to. Everything is good….but the documentation. I As far as I can tell, Facebook allows you to create applications that appear to the user in 2 different areas. 1 - The profile. This the ‘main user page’ as far as Facebook is concerned. Here is where your main summary details are displayed and your comments wall. It would be great to have your widget displayed here, but the big limitation is that applications that use javascript are not allowed here (You must use FMBL, the facebook version of HTML). Too bad for me. What we can do is display a small ad to take the user to the Canvas page. 2 - The ‘Canvas page’. This is an entire page that your application gets to use (you can have multiple pages if you want). On these pages you can choose to display content from another website through an iframe, so that is what we’re going to do. Ok, thats it for the overview. Start...
