@Dinesh: @Prashant has made it clear. And at this level of expertise even this type of small issues should be questioned.

@Dinesh, “Sign In” moved to top right because on that (“JOIN”) page the call to action is “Joining” not “Sign In”. I think this is why Amrinder separated them.

Am I right Amrinder?

Im satisfied with your 2 and 3rd reasons u gave but as far as the first point is concern the existing one seems okay(I found no visual distortions) if you consider the user’s eye flow. Lets see what experts will say m waiting for more comments.
btw nice post.

I would like to like to correct :
{Replace http://www.gowalla.com/users to a more user-friendly label Your URL: http://www.gowalla.com/username}

The actual thing is :
http://www.gowalla.com/users/

(as shown in first screenshot)

and then the username i.e.

http://www.gowalla.com/users/myname

hence that’s pretty correct .

Feel very free to correct me if I’m wrong .

Nice suggestions.

I think First and Last name can also be merged into just one field “Name” why two fields for users single name :)

Rest I think “Terms and services” line can be placed just below “sign up” button in 11px (small) font :)
