One thing that surprised me about this process was the lack of "leaks" - people discussing the product-to-be on blogs, competitors' forums, and such. Amusingly, even a few members of this forum thought that it had been a closely guarded secret up until the announcement on our web site.
This was more or less what we hoped for - that visibility of the beta process would be limited to people who understand that, for example, finding bugs is a GOOD thing at this stage. Still, I was surprised that it actually happened as intended. I suppose when you put something like this out in the open, passers-by find it not as remarkable as if they had stumbled onto a secret. As Dean said it is something we would like to do with other products, provided we can avoid the Osborne effect. -- seanadams ------------------------------------------------------------------------ seanadams's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=44061 _______________________________________________ jive mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/jive
