I mentioned last Friday, when I announced we had added a new team member, that InStat Sports would have some big news for you on Monday. Well, as you can clearly see in the title of this post, we are announcing our Alpha Test Launch. Development is almost done, design is wrapping up, and we are ready to introduce InStat Sports to a limited audience for testing. We are limiting the alpha test invites to 100, which should be just enough for all your early adopters out there 😉 Included in our very first (alpha) release will be:
Ask & Answer Questions via Web
You will have the opportunity to test the knowledge, quickness, and English grammar skills of our crackerjack staff of stat-obsessed sports fans and professional sports statisticians (want to become one of our stat-obsessed sports fans or professional sports statisticians? Check out our Jobs page!).
Search & Browse
You will be able to search and browse our database of questions and answers to sports questions as it grows. A selected group of alpha invites will be granted the ability to edit the database in order to ensure accuracy.
Answer Alerts
You will be able to receive their answers via email or SMS* (standard text-messaging rates may apply).
Personalized Profile
You will be required to complete a profile which includes basic contact information (name, email). As InStat Sports grows, additional options will be added to the profile.
All Updates
Alpha testers will have the unique privilege of access to our updates as they come out. We have many exciting features in the pipeline and you will see them as we roll them out.
Awesome Stuff
We have not even printed them yet, but as soon as we do, all alpha testers will get a FREE STICKER! WOOOHOOOO! If we print T-Shirts, you can have one of those too!
For our alpha release, we are looking for tech-savvy, early adopting sports fans who want to contribute to building a great product. No press at this time, please. You will be encouraged to share your opinions on all aspects of the site, including updates as we release them.
All of us over here at InStat Sports are excited for this alpha release! We cannot wait to hear what all…errr….100 of you think about it!
