Private Beta Launch Update

January 11th, 2008, Reilly Sweetland

Thank you to everybody who signed up the private beta. We are hard at work refining some of the final aspects of TypeRoom Lite and are going to start sending beta invites shortly thereafter.

The response we got was actually far beyond what we had anticipated in terms of beta requests, media requests and just general interest.

You may or may not have seen the TypeRoom article that posted this morning in InformationWeek. If you wanted to know a bit more about the TypeRoom Lite vs. TypeRoom Pro as well as some more information about TypeRoom in general, this is a worthwhile read.

For those of you who have emailed us, we will do our best to get back with you as soon as possible. We are looking forward to your feedback on the system (and have enjoyed reading some of your blog posts!).

On another note, you’ll note I am writing “TypeRoom” instead of “Typeroom”. After some user feedback, we decided to change the way this was written. The CamelCase version, while it may not look as good to us, avoids the potential misinterpretation of TypeRoom as “Typer-oom”…gotta love Flickr.

We’ll be posting another update for you shortly. Thanks again for all of your interest, blog posts and reviews.

    Exciting. The color scheme and layout for TypeRoom is fantastic. All that I have read so far is uncomplicated and educational. TypeRoom is genius!

    This is going to be BIG.

    I haven’t tried Typeroom yet but from a video I have seen it looks very promising. In the past, many companies tried to simplify the content management of a website so it would be great if you could achieve that. My advice is to listen a lot to the feedback you will be getting from the users because they always view the product from a different perspective. Something that you might consider very easy to be done, might not be understandable from your users.

    Keep up the good work! I wish you the best!

    @ h0bbel.p0ggel.org:

    TypeRoom has never claimed to replace WordPress. We feel WordPress is a great blog engine.

    TypeRoom Lite is an extremely simple way to edit existing websites. TypeRoom Pro is our full-fledged CMS with a much more powerful feature set. The Pro version is still in development.

    @ John:

    Thanks for the input! Let us know how you like the application once you get a chance to use it!
