Sharing YouDeparted.com

Monday, March 19th, 2007

There are just about two weeks left in the YouDeparted.com beta test. Our testers have been wonderful! We’re still taking applications for additional testers, but not for very much longer. If you are interested, I recommend applying soon.

Recently, readers have left us nice comments on our posts, and we appreciate what you have to say! As time goes by, we plan to start posting helpful advice related to our site. Guest bloggers will be invited to post interesting topics, and we will of course still use the news to tell you what is happening here at YouDeparted.com. In order for more people to be able to see Before You Depart, we welcome you to share!

We’ll be launching soon!

Looking for beta testers

Saturday, March 10th, 2007

We are just about ready to go live! Soon, you will be able to start storing information and instructions for your family and friends that will be sent to them after you pass away. We are very excited about our new service and we have received a very positive and enthusiastic response. It may seem kinda morbid to store information that will be sent out after you die, but it will greatly benefit those left behind!

We have completed our first version, and now its time for beta testers!

We are looking for individuals interested in testing our service. If you would like to try out YouDeparted.com, you will be eligible to get a free 1 year account. We are also offering a $250 cash prize to the top beta tester. Interested individuals should contact us with “Beta Tester” in the subject line.

After a beta test period of a couple of weeks, we are going live!
