Just saw your message, PH. Here's what I sent Sean today:
Hi Sean-
Last week I requested your Beta app- based on the PR. No answer so far. I would
like to know- for myself and a few other interested investors- what the timetable
is on being able to test the app
I suggest that if you really want this to happen more productively, you will link to a
page that identifies itself as a message specifically to request the Beta app instead
of going to a home page with generic contact fields. I also think you should release
a press release that specifically announces the offering of the Beta to the public.
In media, distribution is everything. Some of it can be expensive, yes- but some of it
requires more attention than money.
For instance, I am somewhat alarmed at the stats on your Twitter account. There is
also nothing posted except your messages. Yes, interactivity can produce some negative
results but that can probably be controlled. Inviting interaction can be important.

This translates to no attention to Twitter, which could be a great vehicle if used
properly. Are you organized on social media? LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, etc.
Because of one the tricks on social media is getting a very large following prior to a large,
determined effort. This is true in areas like promoting books, music and other products which are in development- as well as in crowdfunding.
I am in touch with a few other investors and all are concerned about corporate
communications with us. We all would like to have some kind of understanding in
progress with things like funding, time-table for the beta launch, any small moves
technically we could appreciate, a little more knowledge about your revenue stream
through advertising after launch- stuff like that. If those elements cannot be
handled too specifically, just the fact that you are updating us on whatever you
can would be helpful.
