Looking for Testers

May 3rd, 2006 by Nate Steiner

Over at Twinsparc we’ve been working on a OS X application for web designers. It’s gone through many rounds of in-house testing, and a couple rounds of testing by a small group of friends. Now we’re interested in finding a few more folks who better fit the anticipated audience for the product. This is what we are looking for:

* Uses OS X Tiger
* is a Web designer or designer/developer
* Works on small to medium sized sites
* Not adept at editing Apache config files
* Has some spare time to test and provide feedback later this week

Besides getting a chance to check out an app, you’ll get a free license for the released product.
Interested? Shoot me an email at .

**Update** Thanks everyone! We have more than enough candidates now. We will draw names out of a hat and let folks know if they’ve been picked.

    I’m with Jon on this one. I guess that’s what I get for taking a little vacation. Please keep us update on exactly what little app you’re working on there for web designers.

    Cheers,

    Thanks ratioswitch. I’ll definitely be making a post as soon as we launch the product, which might be as soon as next week!

    I dunno if I should say anything about it, for some reason I think I might jinx it or something.. then again I get annoyed when folks announce something, but keep it mostly a secret.

    > “Our beta sites loved the software.â€? In twenty five years of working in technology, I’ve never heard a company report that its beta sites didn’t like its software. There are three reasons for this: first, many beta sites are so honored to get pre-release software that they don’t want say anything negative. Second, most beta sites haven’t used the software very much. Third, most beta sites don’t want to seem cruel by criticizing a company’s new product. Doing so is as socially unacceptable as telling someone that his baby is ugly.

    Do you know this item constantly appears in your RSS feed as a new item. It seems like ever day it reappears in my reader. Just this one post.

    Thanks Courtney, I didn’t realize that. I’m going to turn off comments to this post and see if that helps. Please [contact me](http://web-graphics.com/contact/) if the problem persists. I dunno why it hasn’t been happening in my feed reader.
