• Looking for AskWoody Lounge Insiders

    Hey, if Microsoft can have millions of unpaid beta testers, I can look for “Insiders,” too, eh? ๐Ÿ™‚

    The AskWoody Lounge web site team is a couple of weeks away from having a prototype up and working. When the prototype is ready, I’d like to enlist a few of you as beta testers, to make sure the whole house of cards doesn’t collapse on the first day.

    The Lounge appendage is pretty simple, really. When I post a new blog, the web site automatically generates a “Topic” in the Lounge, then creates links back and forth between the blog post and the Topic. That Topic joins other Topics in the Lounge, and folks can post in a forum-style setting.

    Commenters in the Lounge can either be registered – and their comments are posted immediately – or they can post as “Anonymous,” in which case I moderate the post before it appears.

    My first effort will be getting that back-and-forth mechanism working. After that base is working, we can start populating the Lounge with new Forums, adding new Topics to each.

    Would you be interested in giving it a try? If so, drop me a line, woody@askwoody.com . Let me know if you’d like to sign up for a registered account, or if you’d like to post anonymously.

    When we’re ready to take ‘er out for a test drive, I’ll let you know. Sorry, no Ninja Cats….
