Hello from Microspaces
This is an email sent today to all that signed up for the Microspaces private beta.
Hi,
It's been a while since you signed up to be part of Microspaces private beta. It was great to see such interest after the great writeup from TechCrunch. Over 400 people signed up. Sorry for the delay, I've been doing this - www.overnightapps.com
Initially the microspaces site is just a technical preview of the Nested GUI technology, and I received some very good emails and comments about the potential. Since the article, I modified Storylinez.com(a quick exmple site) to include RSS feeds and Yahoo search integration. Got a great post from Louis Gray where he asks if microspaces is the future? (http://www.louisgray.com/live/2008/09/will-future-information-consumption-be.html). I was excited to see the story have that angle, because (of course) I believe it will.
Still the interface is evolving, and there are exciting developments coming shortly... as well as 5 rollouts planned in the next few months, that will illustrate great uses and compelling applications that challenge the current norms.
Please check out the new www.microspaces.com site. It has
1) a new blog (please subscribe using the link at the top),
2) and a new support/discussion area for idea exchange and feedback (please post your thoughts and ideas)
3) and please follow me on twitter(http://www.twitter.com/michaelbuchanan) and friendfeed(http://www.friendfeed.com/michaelbuchanan).
