Simpli?¬?ed Use of Personal Cards
When users ?¬?rst encounter a site that uses Information Cards, it
is important that they have a smooth experience. If they become
confused or frustrated, a lasting negative impression can be
formed about Information Cards. With this in mind, a few of the
bumps that existed in the ?¬?rst-time user experience were addressed
in CardSpace??™s .NET Framework 3.5 release.
One signi?¬?cant change was to take users directly to the cardcreation
page, if they did not previously have a Personal Card.
This got them pointed in the right direction and reduced the
number of decisions they needed to make. Otherwise, they
were just dropped into CardSpace, left to ?¬?gure out what task
they should be doing.
Another improvement was to only show the user the input ?¬?elds
for the claims that were being requested. Previously, when all
14 supported claims were shown, users would think it meant
the site they were visiting wanted all the information. They
would then take a long time ?¬?lling it all out or cancel out of
CardSpace because they did not want to release so much personal
information.
