Inquisix out of Private Beta
April 8th, 2009 Comments Off Posted in Events, Michael Kreppein, Process
We’ve recently released a new version of Inquisix. Members won’t notice much change but new visitors to our site will. Until now, Inquisix has been an invite-only controlled beta because we wanted to correctly capture the process of giving and getting referrals confidentially online. It’s harder than you think! What’s natural in the real world often doesn’t translate well in the virtual world, where all the edge cases have to be considered and implemented. Kudos to our development team, run by Dave Dupre, for making the complex seem easy. And to our current members who’ve provided feedback on making the process better.
Now that we think we’ve got it, we’re opening Inquisix up to anyone who wants to join. We’ll still be in beta for a bit longer as membership continues to grow and we tweak here and there. There will always be a free version of Inquisix while we offer some premium features, too. More on that later.
So if you’re new to Inquisix and want to join, come on in. We’re using a common solution for ensuring only people try to join – Captcha. What’s really interesting about the implementation Dave and his team chose was what the reCaptcha system is doing while you decipher those images into text. As quoted from our Marketing VP’s other blog, “ReCaptcha is helping digitize newspapers, books and old-time radio shows, by putting this wasted time to actual good use. Every reCaptcha solved adds to the world’s library of digital books.”
Come on in!
