FeedLounge beta status

December 5, 2005

Alex King has a lengthy post detailing the current state of affairs over at FeedLounge.

This post is a long one. In it, we will cover some of the issues that have delayed FeedLounge’s public release, talk about the business model (paid vs. free, and when) and announce our beta (public) release date.

I’ve followed Alex’s blog for a while now and used his UseTasks application for several months so I was really looking forward to their web-based feed reader (especially since I wasn’t using anything at all at the time). I’ve followed their trials and tribulations pretty closely the past several months as we have been diligently working on our online family calendar with the hopes of releasing it soon. Granted, we probably won’t have anywhere near the initial onslaught of potential customers as I’m sure most probably wonder why the world needs yet another calendar application (ours is family-oriented and much better than the majority of apps in that space).

MyHomePoint has been in an extended alpha phase now for several months. We also have had our fair share of technical, business and personal delays. However, we are getting closer to beta and have finally defined what actually constitutes our beta (to try to end our constant feature creep) and have been working towards implementing it. Like Alex mentioned, we’ve seen the competition emerging and initially felt overwhelmed, however it gives justification that we are in a niche area that if done right, could be quite successful. Modifying a quote from Alex:

…we’re confident that our extensive “future” list will continue to make FeedLounge MyHomePoint very compelling.
