Launch time. Big project.

[Midano]

Hi guys.
I'm on a verge of launching a very big project I've been working on for quite awhile (targeting end on April). The site has little do do with domaining, but it will create a platform for easy creation of dynamic mini-sites with a lot of flexibility - you decide the content, the style, monetize as you wish, and keep 100% of the revenue. That's the next step.
Meanwhile, the base site will be branded as www.feedest.com - all about feeds (RSS/RDF/Atom/Podcast). A combination of del.icio.us-style social bookmarking, tagging, and feed directory without categories (the classification is decided by the users when they tag and comment).
The site and the database will create a platform for a few other sites plus there will be (eventually) an API kit for the developers to create their own applications running off the same database.

I'm looking to assemble a team of beta-testers to bug-proof the site before the official launch and collect some feedback. I won't pay on general principal. Not because I'm greedy, but because I'm looking for people who are genuinely interested in the project. However, some advertisement options can be arranged for top contributors.

Sneak-peek of the internal pages can be granted upon request. PM me. NP community had been extremely helpful with my past projects and I'm looking forward to forming partnerships and extending the network.

Thank you for listening and let's talk.
Leo.

Loved your past projects, so long as there is space for someone who doesn't actively use del.icio.us, I'm game.

I look forward to this... I love bookmarking/tagging sites.
If you need any beta testers, I'm in :D

Allan.
The site will not compete with del.icio.us. However, the concept is very similar in terms of execution, but applied to feeds instead of web pages, plus many extras and options to expand and build upon.

If you're into bookmarking/tagging/clouds/aggregation - you'll feel right at home.

Thank you for your response. Sending PMs to both of you.

If you have any openings, I'd love to be a beta tester. I'm really fond of the mini-sites idea, you know. PM me if you can arrange something.

Thank you.

[advaita]

Me too, sounds interesting - PM me please.

 

[Midano]

PM'd everyone.
Thank you guys.

 

[Midano]

As always - you guys are a great help.
I've made more progress in a week than in a couple of month. Fixed a couple of bugs, added a few features.
Need more testers.

Leo.

 

[BinderGang]

I'm interested. Let me know!

I know I dont have a lot of post's here, but I would be interested from a statistical/troubleshooting type perspective, sounds like a fun project as well.

P.S. I owned a web design company for 5 years and just got burnt out, this side of the biz might be a fresh delight for me.

Thanks for the opportunity!

 

[Midano]

PM'd everyone.
A few more minor bugs fixed. Added rep to those aho hepled out.

CALL FOR FEEDS:
The database is at about 70,000 feeds from 32,000 hosts right now (harvested from the net by my spider). Chances are YOUR feeds (RSS/RDF/Atom/Podcast) are already there.
I would really appreciate if you guys check it out. Find your feeds (add if they're not there). Register, login, tag/comments your own feeds or anything you find that interests you (like Bob Parsons' podcast or Rick Schwartz' new blog feed). I need to create some volume of tags/comments before the official launch.
Please PM me for the link.

Thank you again,
Leo.
