beta (3 'thank you anyway' emails arrived within minutes of each other), I
can understand some of the reasoning behind it.
Supposedly, this is the first beta and probably has 30-70 people on it.
Adding more people adds costs and requires more internal staffing, which
takes away from the staff working on the product.
That's fair....what I don't understand is
1) How MM can let 15? large corporations play with it in an alpha or beta
stage prior to MAX and yet open the beta up so slowly now
2) Why MM didn't state how small the group of people excepted was in their
email. Come on...everyone gets mad when they receive a 'thank you anyway'
letter when they apply for a job. I would be a lot happier to receive one
if the letter said "we had over 4,000 (or whatever) applicants and we could
only hire 1, or accept 30 (or whatever) in this beta".
MM is very good at some things, but their emails, marketing, and in many
case public relations needs some work. For all of you who didn't get in
this round of betas, wouldn't you have preferred to know that less than say,
1% were admitted? At least you wouldn't think you were turned down and 5
were let in.
I don't mind knowing I'm an outcast, if the outcasts are 95%+. Its when, as
one MMUG manager stated, he feels like he is in high school again and he is
one of the few being considered an outcast.
I don't fault MM for not letting me in. I fault them for sending a generic,
and uninformative note that doesn't tell me why I wasn't let in.

As is, there are a lot of people who are connected to MM in some way (TMM,
MMUG
managers, etc.) who are none to happy about being left out of the beta.
These
are the ones who manage and support the community. Pissing them off is not a
good start.
