Disappeared for a while

I'm not sure where the time went. It feels like just yesterday I posted the March grades and now its been over 2 weeks already. I'd like to send out a thank you to Patrick McKenzie who mentioned my blog on his site. I've always had a lot of respect for Patrick based on the amount of help he has given back to the uISV community. I've relied heavily on his blog for help and advice on getting my uISV up and running.

I don't want to steal any of the thunder but I'm excited for a new product launch coming up from one of our members if the class of '07. I don't think an offical announcement has been made so I'll hold off, but I've been given a sneak peak and it looks very impressive. Stay tuned for a full review once it is announced.

I'd like to point out a huge benefit of actually getting your product in the hands of users, even in a beta stage. If you go read Jon's blogs about SendAlong, his product to send large files you will a flourish of activity right after he released his product. He added quite a few new features, and I guarentee that some of them he never considered until his users suggested them. Until you have real users banging on your product, you will not really know how they will use or want to use it. I'm a big fan of release early and release often because of the many benefits of having real users using your product.
