From the horsie's mouth

Dear blessed, patient, beautiful, good-doing Sayvee-ans,

Ok, I know you Sayvee (pre) test-bunnies have been scratching your armpits for a while now wondering when we're going to launch, but I never thought someone would be so sick as to kick in my office window and snake my laptop right from my desk! Seriously, someone was that desperate to see some screen shots of our killer system.

Disclaimer: this isn't a shot from our security cam, it's Jocko, our Member Services Ninja doing a sweet re-enactment.

NEW VIDEO

Ok, stop operating the crane or running on your treadmill (or whatever you're doing) and check out our new video on the Sayvee Terms and Conditions.







THE PLAN

Things are coming along just peachy, I assure you. Yes, it has taken a lot longer than we expected but (insert politically correct phrase here like "all good things take time") who cares. It seems like every day we get emails and phone calls from people asking if they can buy a site. We have a few designers that have started designing custom sites because we have the instructions available...so if you'd like to get started, simply email nico [at] sayvee [dot] com and we'll get those documents over to you lickity-split.

Next week we're going to release a "CLOSED BETA" (pre test bunny) version to a baker's dozen people or so, get some initial bugs worked out, then we'll open it up to you in "BETA" (test bunny phase). For this TEST BUNNY phase we will have some of the basic components for you to try out like the mailing list, music player, slideshow, blog, and some other stuff. This project is so huge and we have so many ideas that one of the greatest temptations has been to keep adding new, cool stuff. But we have to start basic, then build on that. I'm talking about ideas like synchronizing your Facebook and Myspace accounts, incorporating printing services and the lists go on. I assure you, our list of "future things to add" is way bigger than our "this is what we have" list.

So, yes, basically, we're on the home stretch.

ALWAYS LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE OF LIFE

Other than cleaning up broken shards of glass from my office floor, I'm super stoked at how our system is coming along, our new office is super sweet, & I got my laptop replaced by a new Mac. On this shiny new Mac I discovered a nifty little program called Photo Booth & now we know what I would look like with a small nose and what Steve would look like with an oversized upper lip. Computers are awesome.



So, that's about it. I seriously hope you're all doing better than adequate, writing stellar tunes, painting cool junk, snapping life-altering photos, and creating good kinds of mischief. Keep checking back and keep your sticks on the ice.

Nothing but love from me (Nico) & the Sayvee tribe.
