Add a "How did you hear about us?" field?

I must be missing something, but I did not find anything that refers to adding a form field during account creation. I would like to add a simple:

"How did you hear about us?" field in the account creation area.

Anyone know of a solution?

The problem with these is if the customer has to write something out its just hassle and slows down the account creation process, and if its a drop down, I know (as I do) I just select anything on the list so the data you are collecting from this can be meaningless.

Re: Add a "How did you hear about us?" field?

Thank all of you. I do think the drop down field attached to orders only is the better way to go because you can track (unlike one of my other websites that has a text field and it goes nowhere).

Although I won't be installing this add on for this website I may use it in the future for other websites. I am glad to see someone wrote this.
