14:41 GMT, Monday, March 3rd 2008: With no great drama we are pleased to say that we have gone live with the trymehere service - www.trymehere.com on the Internet!
Like everyone else who has worked on a project for some considerable time we are so pleased that this day has finally arrived! We have been developing trymehere for some considerable time but as we are self-financed we felt this to be acceptable. We still have a never-ending list of ‘nice to have’ features and minor things we could change or add but we decided that it was time to go live.
This is a real beta version and we hope that early users will report any problems they might come across. Indeed, the first person to use the Wizard failed to complete it due to a bug but this was corrected within ten minutes of it being reported.
Of course, now comes the time when we find out whether there is any real interest in the service and whether people actually find it a useful. We do not plan to over-promote the service in the early days. This is so easy to do but we will resist and focus on getting the service reliable.
Time will tell of course, so watch this space!
By the way, if you create a trymehere account, search for me in the database and send me a Connect Request!
