Although we’ve been fairly quiet for the last few months, behind the scenes we have been extremely busy preparing Silentale for everyone. And, to tell you the truth, it’s taken us little longer than expected.

More specifically, we have been working on two fronts. First off, making sure the back-end was ready to securely receive the massive amount of data (the thousands of messages, contact details and attachments from each of our users) that we will be processing. We’ve also been working on the web interface to be a simple yet powerful display of the wealth of information that is available. For this and much more, the feedback from our alpha testers has been hugely helpful.  Many thanks to everyone for both their engagement AND their patience!

We’re now gearing up to switch from alpha to beta (finally – phew)! The change is expected to happen by the end of the summer, and every pending invitation request should have been fulfilled by then. So, if you have not registered yet and want to secure a spot, direct your browser here and put your email on the list.  And if you just want a preview, check out  Silentale’s corporate site in all its new glory, with plenty of screenshots and product details!

Other stuff that’s been happening…
