Testing: The new "join me" page (starring you)

Check it: www.glitch.com/profiles/me/...

How it works: People who visit that page can just start playing (without having to create an account). But, if/when they make an account, we remember whose page they came from. So, during their signup process, they get a little prompt that asks if they want to add you as a friend (since they came in via your link and probably know you) AND we send you an email telling you that they signed up and give you a link to their profile.

  • I have a couple questions abut this.
    I have had 2 folks join using this link. They didn't get placed as my friend, and I don't seem to get credits for them joining.
    Is the email invite still the only way to get credit for friends joining?

  • LadyTerra and Maident: (1) you get 25 credits for the first person who invite and then another 100 credits for the 5th person — and that's all right now. We'll be reviewing this soon and making a formal announcement/making it public. Most people still don't know about it! (2) When people sign up via that page, we don't automatically add them as friends - they get an option during sign up and we send you an email when they start, so you know and can add them (or not) yourself.

  • yesterday a person i do not know joined via my blog.

    i would like a little gadget or something that i can put right on the homepage that will link to the join page, so there's a cute little linked graphic that's always top level.

    i suppose i could construct something myself, but i bet what you come up with will work totally better.

  • +1 to flask's idea too~ I'd love a Glitch widget for my Wordpress blog, been writing posts as I play along (and a presskit with Glitch graphics that I've asked on Twitter to no avail =P)
