Closed Beta Needs Intelligent, Helpful, Active Listeners

July 21, 2007 by Liz


A Beta Baby Is Being Born

Sshhh! Beta being born

I was on the phone yesterday with Aaron Stanton. You might remember him from his question to get Google to listen. I liked his style then. So when he wrote to say he’s got something going on, I said let’s talk . . .

Here’s what I know after our conversation.

Are you hearing things go bump in the night at about 4 in the morning?

Shh! A secret beta is being born. A handful of programmers in Boise, Idaho, with the help of 20 or so more around the world, are putting the finishing touches on their new “baby.”

They’re asking for intelligent, helpful, active participants . . . to help by interacting with the “little tyke” while it gets a sense of itself.

Can you stop by their place for an hour a week for the next 4-6 weeks to help them get the bugs out?

If you’re interested in finding out more . . .

Can Google Hear Me? — Beta

Aaron’s fun, they’re on their own, and they sure are into what they’re doing.

But remember, Sshhh! the beta is still being born.

This is for Successful-Blog reader’s only, and you’ll need to use this code 19982E.
