login: Your info will be sent to the blog.

Binary package hint: ubuntuone-client

When trying to use Ubuntu One for the first time, a web browser opens this page:
    https://login.launchpad.net/+openid
I also get there by pressing 'sign in' on the page at https://one.ubuntu.com/

This page has some confusing messages I think should be changed.

In the box on the right side of this page, there is the following message:
        You are signing into:
        Ubuntu One
        Your info will be sent to the blog.
Following this is my name, nickname, and email address. This looks like my name and email are going to be posted on a blog. I don't think this is the intended behaviour, though I may be wrong. If it is the right behaviour, it should state which blog, and give a reason.
Also, the 'Ubuntu One' in that message is a hyperlink to https://login.launchpad.net/Ubuntu%20One. This is an 'Page not found' error page.

This has put me off signing in, as I don't want my info posted to a blog!
The message on the left side doesn't inspire confidence either:
        Why do we ask you to sign in?
        You must sign in to use Ubuntu One cloud-based services.
This statement doesn't actually provide any information (I am asked to sign in because I must sign in to use it?). The response should be something like:
        You must sign in as we need to identify you: so that only you, and other people you permit, can access your data.

the text about the blog and the "why to log in" does indeed need to be more clear.

I also think that URL is actually trying to get to https://launchpad.net/ubuntuone

Hi all,

thank you very much for reporting this issue. I addressed it to the proper person to be taken care of.

This was already fixed when switching to SSO.
