Click to See Complete Forum and Search --> : Beta Testers Wanted - Reward Given!

Hello Gang!

Karl Moore here. Hope you're all keeping mighty fine.

I'm on the prowl for a few supercool beta testers that are willing to devote a lil' time to checking out a neat new Internet tool - and be rewarded in the process.

The product is called WebZinc and essentially allows developers to manipulate the Web in the easiest way possible. Whether you want to grab the latest Microsoft stock quote, snatch details of late-breaking news stories, search the Web using your favourite engine or fill out and submit forms - WebZinc can help you do it - *automatically*.

Once you grab this info via WebZinc, you can slap it into a regular application - or use its features to upload the content direct to your site(s).

So it's a pretty groovy tool. And we're hoping to roll it out for testing early November - so I'm here looking for potential beta testers.

What do you guys think?

Active testers will each receive a fully-fledged copy of the application when released (planned for January 2001), plus more freebies - such as t-shirts, press packs, etc.

All we ask is that you give our application a good ol' thrashing - and tell us what happened.

If you want to take part, please drop me a line - karl@karlmoore.com - and we can chat!

Thanks muchly folks - speak to you soon! ;>

--- Karlos

Karl-

That would be wicked cool!

I sent you an e-mail today offically (sp?) requesting to be selected. If you don't get it, check with me at DarkJedi9@techie.com or DarkJedi9@aol.com (both should work).

I can vouch for its coolness...I've had a play around with it, but was never able to spend enough time to be a real beta tester (*sob*).

I'm an official beta tester, and it rocks. Seriously! It is absolutely amazingly fantastic!

Since just after this post was posted. Unfortunately, Beta testing concludes at the end of this month....

I'd be very interested to act as a beta tester for WebZinc, Karl.

Not least to repay you for some v. useful & usable skills I've developed from studying some of your fine VB tutorials.

All the same - 'happy to accept the proffered rewards.

I'm a final year, night school, HNC Computing student in N.E. England & have strong interests in visual programming, software development & in web applications development, all of which I'm active in to varying extents.

If you still need some beta testing then kindly let me know with further details soonest. Happy to have a go at this pretty well straightaway.

Hey, that sounds cool. And, if this is too late, I'd be happy to beta test any components. I could easily try to break them ... :-). Sounds cool, just drop me an email: dapavster@ryand.cjb.net.

Later,
daPavster
