ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for allowing users to efficiently create new accounts in an online service. The new account creation scheme allows users to begin using aspects of the online service before creating an account. The user is provided a temporary account and, in the event they choose to finalize joining the service, the user is permitted to save settings from their temporary account. For example, in some embodiments, the user is permitted to perform various functions, such as, browsing the online service, navigating external links, and viewing various pages of other users and groups. The user may also be allowed to collect information on other members that they are interesting and may be offered a temporary homepage where the user can view the activities of these other members. The temporary home page allows the potential new user to immediately begin using the services of the social network service without having to specifically request a new account. This information and links may be transitioned over if the user wishes to establish a permanent account. While using the temporary account, however, the user must transition to a permanent account before accessing other features of the online service.
