As the private beta phase comes to a close I can honestly say it has been a huge success. Lots of interest and lost of great feedback! Our PUBLIC BETA will open up on or around May 10th and we will then roll out a LOT of new features that we have developed. Things like better ways to manage your clips, shorter embed code, affiliate program, AND… Sell Your Clips!

Thanks to all those who helped with this first phase and for trusting POYP with your image!

As we get closer to a full on beta launch and move out of the testing phase - I’m looking for feature suggestions. Leave a suggestion in the comments if you’d like to see some specific features and tools implemented.

Here is an example of a transparent flash clip on my site which uses a CMS.

POYP Example

You can use the embed code on just about any site. You place the embed code between the BODY tags.

Post a link in the comments to your page where you have embedded the POYP code. Time to show off a little.

The beta invite went well but there were a number of issues that cropped up immediately. All these are minor thankfully but it’s embarrassing to announce a new produc t and have some of it go immediately south.

Lesson there is: Test, Test, Test, and Test again!

My friend Dave Hamilton had a good take on it and said “If it were easy, everyone would be doing it!”

I like Dave’s take on it and hoping everyone is as generous!

Acting as producer with a staff is great, however I can’t just jump in and fix things like I can with straight html. I have no idea about asp so I leave it to the pros. Antony is amazing at getting things organized and taken care of quickly. His team is really stepping up - big time.

All the little bugs mentioned in my email will be fixed by late tonight. Then we can continue to test in earnest.

Today we announced the beta sign up process for people on your page. We had a few glitches as the main player got swapped out with an older version and so we had to add the videos the old fashioned way!

But not to worry, we are on track for a March 1 beta test phase and will be adding people to the beta program as we tweak things and work out the bugs.

The project manager Antony is my right hand guy and he is keeping things moving very smoothly. He and our team of developers are really some of the best people I have ever worked with.

March 1 is also the 1 year anniversary of AskMrVideo.com where this all started. Leave a comment and let me know what feature of the site you are lookig forward to most.
