We are entering the Beta testing phase for the GRID. This is a mobile social networking tool that’s going to blow you away. It’s location aware and able to track your position in real time! In other words, you can take your friends with you wherever you go.
The GRID’s key feature is that you can show your contacts exactly where you are and what you’re doing. With the ability to post media (text, images and video) on a map, you are limited only by your imagination. Using the built in Radar feature, it’s easy to find awesome content. You can even rate it, comment on it, forward it to your friends, and even subscribe for updates.
We are currently looking for Beta testers who are willing to use the application for short periods of time and provide much needed feedback. Fancy giving it a test drive? There are eight testing sessions lasting three days each (over a weekend). The first session begins on Friday 5 October and ends on Monday 8 October.
Each new session begins a week later. During the three day period, you will be expected to meet a set of minimum requirements. Here’s the good part! You will get paid for achieving these goals and helping us out in the process. Each test will earn you R500 for meeting your requirements and a further R500 if you double them. You can also participate in more than one round of testing so do the money math!
If you’re interested, request to join the GRID group on Facebook check your phone compatibility on the list then grab the link to the pre-testing survey.
Sounds extremely interesting. I can just imagine being out and about, and having a friend ask where I am and being able to show them exactly – bonus!
