ibeatYou wins most redundant sign-up form contest
ibeatYou, a social network where you compete with other people, sounds like it will be an instant success but what's up with that sign up form?

They may have decided a splash of vibrant colour would liven up that damn ugly form design

redundant maybe, but once you’re in it’s the most addictive website since facebook (plus they were in alpha testing until today). everyone’s competitive, this is the place to take it out…

Hi jumpmansf,
I don’t think ibeatYou itself is redundant, just the asterisks on the sign-up form.

Future expandability built-in…
(so when they want to know EVERYTHING about you, they can add some non astericked fields)
