TickerHound in Alpha Testing

Posted by Wayne on December 15, 2007 – 12:05 am

Just wanted to take a quick minute and thank all of the TickerHound Alpha Testers - we’ve fixed some of the problems and have taken a lot of your suggestions into account. This has been an extremely valuable experience for us and we couldn’t have made such a great product without you all. In fact, I’d like to name a couple of people for their contributions:

Joe Conlin has made a number of helpful suggestions that have already been integrated into the TickerHound website — thanks Joe! Your expertise in both software and finance really gives you some great perspective and we truly value and appreciate your contributions.

Michael O’Connell - As always, thanks for the support and your contributions to the site. Please keep the feedback coming, and if our “Question and Answer Contest” a few months ago was an indication of your future participation in this site, I have to say that I’m psyched to have you on board helping out!

Ethan Roberts is someone who I personally admire, not only for his dedication to becoming a better investor but also for his dedication toward helping others become better investors as well. Ethan, and other members of the Alpha testing team, have really embraced the spirit of TickerHound - “Investors Helping Investors”!

Stephanie - Your contributions to the site (your feedback, your suggestions, etc.) have been invaluable. And your contributions to the community of investors out there (comments, articles, etc.) makes you a very special member of our community. I can’t begin to tell you how happy I am that you’ve been a part of this process.

We’re very close to launching the site and I can’t even begin to explain how excited I am. We’ve had this vision for such a long time and now that it has finally come to fruition I’m jumping out of my skin to share it with everyone.

I think we’ve built something really special here and I can’t wait to hear what everybody thinks when we pull back the curtain next week.

Monday marks the official day we open TickerHound to Beta testers - it’ll be a “public” beta test, meaning you don’t need to go through any type of screening or invitation process. Just come to the site and start using it.

Remember, this mission we’re on isn’t about us — it’s not about TickerHound as a company.

It’s about YOU!

It’s about educating and empowering individual investors!

So stay tuned, TickerHound is launching Monday, December 19th.

And remember, this is just the beginning - check back here often to leave comments and suggestions for future site enhancements and features. Believe me when I say that we’ll be listening - TickerHound is going to be a site built by you, for you!
