If you are keen to beta test new products in Tangler, make a posting in this topic and we'll invite you when they are added.

To make it fun, tell us the last product you tested and a quick verdict.  

I was on the intial beta tests of Ning, Squidoo,... I still have "offerings" in both  but have not had time to keep the effort up (while involved in my own startup) ... both of these were interesting concepts but unlikely to become the 'next great thing'  

added 09 Apr 07 Of interest to Software firms seeking Beta testers:

Computer Type: Tablet PC

Operating System: dual boot: Win XP tablet ed.; Ubuntu Linux

Browser and version: Firefox 2.0; IE current version

I'd like to be on the list. The last thing I tested was Reko (I believe). Seems to be an interesting product, perhaps with a little too much overlap with StumbleUpon. I also just installed Firefox's new Coop plugin which turns Firefox into a social browser with the use of Facebook's API. If they can develop it well enough, it will be a great addition (Flock doesn't seem to be doing well enough, perhaps not open enough to all networks).

I've also tested Reko. I can't honestly say however, that I'll have my account for long. I use GMail, so they tell me to check out hotmail. I have many other sites I go to, but they never point me to anything interesting or new.

post moved to REKO where it properly belongs... the Bric (2007-04-05)

Hey guys, we should talk about the actual products in their feedback groups. My fault for kicking off something - should have known.

Do you want to copy these notes into the Reko group? 

Also, maybe put a 'Done' in the topics in this group when you have beta tested a product.

+1 meee

Add me too please. Very busy for the next 2-3 weeks with a beta roll out of my own, but after that will have a bit more time to contribute. Would also love to get some feedback on our beta once its up

I will beta, I have beta tested Norton 360, and am currently beta testing another software from symantic. And when the beta versions of blogger and google groups came out I tested those.

Woo hoo!

Thanks jon! 

Great guys, welcome.

howdy.. i thought i was already in (from the list of names on the front page), but im in too if there is still room

sorry didnt read that properly.. i thought it implied beta testing tangler itself...

Morning - you can add me too, I have most recently been playing with Joost which got a resounding thumbs up.  Here are my details: 

PC: Ubuntu Linux - firefox 2.0 and Opera

Laptop: Macbook Pro with OS X - firefox 2.0 and safari

+1

 I've beta tested Vox (great for personal blogging), Joost (a little overhyped), Tangler (awesomely fun interaction), Touchstonelive before Particls (Attention Gainer), Sphere and Spotplex (blog tracking for obsessive bloggers), Veoh (Bit-torrenting Media in a nice way), Dekoh (A very neat dektop/webtop sync-machine), Renkoo, Goplan, and a on and on.

You can add me too.   Havne't beta tested anything in a while (except some google features a year or two agao) but count me in anyways!

I'm currently beta testing everything I get my hands on for blogging matters so you can count me in.

Cool! I'll invite you guys to some groups

Please add me...I'm always beta testing lots of stuff, from website programmes, to operating systems, to games, to sites such as gmail, istalkr, cluztr, and software like joost.  I'm up for testing most things, I'm a gadget freak. 

That's great Zenith! Welcome!

Feel free to pick whatever takes your fancy from the topics on the left. Links to the product feedback groups are all in the respective topics.... meanwhile, I'll invite you to a couple 

Squidoo, Joost. Twitter's not beta, but I am treating it as such...  Hey why don't tangles have tags?  It seems like everything on social media earth has tags.  not tangles? por quoi?

Joost Feedback Group   is up.

EDIT: Sorry, wrong topic

Oh boy there's so much geek stuff to talk about here, I think I'm in heaven. 

and dont forget tech news

http://www.tangler.com/group/3017

id like to join the list.  beta tested joost and semi urbanseeder. and yea, tags would be cool.

When is Tangler throwing the party for all the beta testers?

Joost - looks good (still needs more non archival content) 

when is Tangler throwing the first beta tester party?

Add me to the list too!

joost is so slow

ICDeadPpl... consider yourself added

Have a look thru the topics on the left and pick something and start testing!

The links to the site, and to their feedback groups are in the respective topics 

I'm in on Joost and Spock.com. Both are fantastic IMO, spock with the best people search I've seen in a long while (iStalkr may want to get in contact with them?) , and Joost speaks for itself. Also tested serph.com before release (which is equally as smooth - although results wise things could be tuned).

Never heard of Spock.com.... what's it about?

It's people search, a wikipedia of people, as it were. I wouldn't of thought it would be something I'd fascinate over - but I've edited around 25 people so far! I think it was reviewed on TechCrunch yesterday (or today, for some).

Ah ok.... I'll look it up later.

Funny name 

Oh dear, please no Star Trek jokes I despise ST. More than under-cooked chicken left in a carrier bag for 4 years, and having it for dinner

errrrmmmm I don't think I know any Star Trek jokes....

T'was before my time 

Beta testing everything under the sun. Most recently it was Spock, a people search engine.  It could become very useful once it gets a bigger community.

Spock is pretty cool. I'll have to put up some stuff about it if people are interested. And I've been addicted to Freebase recently. The stuff you can build on their API is amazing. Check out CineSpin

Hi. I'd like to be in on this.

I'd like to. The last things I tested were Windows Live Messenger (Managed Beta), Windows Live Hotmail (Managed Beta, also), Windows Live Onecare (Perpetual Beta), and more from Microsoft in the Windows Live group of products.

By all means, sign me up.

I have never actively beta tested anything... lol 

Gracey, there isn't a sign up per say....

I suggest picking something that interests you, or something that you think will be useful to you, and start using it.

Then come back to the respective feedback groups and let us know what you think?

I "signed up" for what I suppose is my "first" last night... hehe Weewar! ROCK!

Good stuff!!

i've been testing joost. i'm testing bubblegum too (a joost competitor). joost is far in front, as for now.

i tested reinvigorate (reinvigorate.net) - web stats. cool, but not actually something i need. 

i'm on the wating list to test clutzer
...

ciao, carloz 

sorry, a quick correction: i found a clutzer invite code here on tangler, so i'm currently beta testing clutzer too

I'd like on the list. This week alone I have been beta testing: Me.dium, WeeWar, UrbanSeeder, idio.mag. I have also been beta testing Joost since the first invites went out.

Computer Type: HP TC4400 Tablet PC, iMac G5, Powerbook G4

Operating System: dual boot: Win XP tablet ed.; Mac OS X 10.4.x

Browser and version: Firefox 2.0 with IE7 tab; and Firefox 2.0 for Mac

Good stuff guys!

Be sure to share your thoughts in the respective Feedback groups. Thanks!

Hello,

Please add me to your list.  Time providing, along with interest in the program (s) will dictate my participation.

Recently reviewed: Flowchart.com   Good potential coupled with quick responses from the developement team give it a strong 3+ (out of 5)  as a future destination Web 2.0 application. 

BigNerd  

Great stuff joost

Id love to be added. Last one I tested was Stixy. I think its a great way to share and collaborate with others.  Neat design too.

Put me on that list also; atuarre@atuarre.com

Err ... wth? We have a far more current list going guys. No need to resurrect something from may/just into june.

Check out "Interested beta testers - add your name only please" ... and let this one fade into oblivion. It's far easier for people to just track one, current list.
