simpleContact Pro is now in beta
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008I’m pleased to announce that simpleContact Pro is nearing release!
I issued a beta version this morning to a group of volunteers. I am very grateful that these people, several of whom I am fortunate enough to have worked with and call friends, are willing to give their time to help me deliver a great product.
I’ve also enlisted the help of some smart people that I’ve met on my internet travels: simpleContact users, designers, developers, bloggers and marketeers. I look forward to receiving everyone’s feedback.
