    Is there a site that's so brutal about trying to make you sign up as Pinterest? My heart sinks when I see it in search results.

        @rajatsuri I can't imagine any benefit from doing so, besides the artificially created one of not being nagged to.

        @paulg think of it as a cashless payment to use an otherwise free service , and maybe it'll make you feel better ;)

        @paulg apparently @Pinterest & @Quora know the value of signed-up users overrides a few angry Tweets. #datadriven Disagree w/ the appraoch?

        @paulg We didn't take pushing signup lightly, but after seeing the data, it was an easy decision. @YairSpolter I'll float the idea of a post

        @paulg Quora. My brain now automatically tunes it out in search results because I clicked and abandoned too many times.
