I saw this video on Frank Gruber’s blog and had to re-post it here. Definitely worth watching and thinking about.

Boxed Ice, creators of Server Density, wrote up a nicely detailed post on how to run a successful beta program for a web application.
Knowing when to release a product is difficult. The maxim “release early, release often” certainly applies but that has to be balanced against making sure you have a minimum viable product and features that work well, with a minimum number of bugs. You also need to get feedback as early as possible to either completely change what you are going to do or introduce new feature you would never have thought of on your own.
As my company’s product, Investify, is now in a private beta, these tips gave me a lot to think about in structuring the remainder of the test period.
