Foldera - Take your time

Back from some time off and what do I find in my inbox... an email titled "Get Ready to Experience Foldera’s Public Preview".

Ah yes... In February 2006 I signed up to take Foldera for a spin. Today June 25 2007 I received my beta account. It only took 16 months. "Get ready"? Oh I'm ready alright! LOL

I did how ever get a look at Foldera in August 2006 thanks to Michael Sampson, Foldera's Global VP of Research, and I was reasonably impressed. I could see one or two of my clients being interested in what the Foldera people had to offer.

But no beta account meant I could not test it, and thus not recommend it. Eventually interest wore off, other options became available, etc.

So, now I have an invite, but no interest in what Foldera has to offer. Bummer.

My advice to anyone signing up testers would be to not keep potential beta testers hanging for SIXTEEN MONTHS. That's like 4 or 5 years in internet time! :)

I'll keep my invite though. Maybe I'll take a look down the line. Get ready!
