Wufoo is basically the best UI for form building ever created.

Plus they have stellar customer service. We were talking to Kevin Hale last night (he's visiting Boston to advise the new startups), and he said that during the day their average response time to support emails is about 5 minutes.

Would you mind saying that again as a Disqus comment here? http://ourdoings.com/brlewis/photo.html?th=m6/8p/thpb.jpg...

I'd like to collect cool and useful things people remember about last night's event, not just pictures.

I have heard that many times, so I finally decided to check it out. There is a lot of movement/animation on every page, and most of it is pretty unnecessary.

Other than that, it wasn't that bad. I'm curious what my thoughts would be if I actually visited the site with the intention of creating a form, which obviously is the only real test that matters.

I'm curious: what's the rationale for not being able to play with Wufoo without signing up (for a free account)? Was it found to be more effective to require some (minor) commitment from the user?

Early on, time was the limiting factor. The builder has been rewritten now to be standalone, so we will soon be testing the difference between current conversion rates of having to create an account and the rates that come as a result of playing with the builder first without an account. If we find anything interesting, we'll make note on Particletree.
