The Scariest Fun : notes from a web startup

After many months of hard work, we're proud to unveil the beta version of Seekler. We've added lots of features since we released our alpha version, but the most important one is that as of today, user registration is completely open to everyone!

We've only gotten this far because of our amazing alpha users and we will continue to be dependent on the support of users like you. If you can, doing any of the following would help us out immensely:

1. Use Seekler! Seekler will be able to attract more users as there is more and more useful data on the site. Making a new list or adding to an existing list would be a huge help. Also, you can add reviews to items on your existing lists to give them more depth.

2. Give us feedback! Seekler is far from finished, but we will continue to need your help to improve it. What features do you wish we had? What tasks are painful to complete? What lists do you wish we had?

3. Tell your friends! If you've been waiting to tell your friends about Seekler because it wasn't easy to create an account, wait no more. Anyone can easily create an account and start making lists.

4. Link to us! Incoming links will help us get traffic and improve our position on search engines like Google. If you have a website, a blog, or even a MySpace of Facebook profile, and incoming link to Seekler would be very much appreciated. You can link directly to http://seekler.com or to a list that interests you. If you're into movies, a link to our "Anticipated Movies of 2008" list would really help us out since we're currently trying to promote that list.

Thanks!
