Me2everyone Beta Launch in March

Well, it's kind of funny. Yesterday I make the post about Me2everyone and how they have been seemingly going weeks without updates, and even though they claimed the Beta would be released sometime this month we have heard nothing. Well guess what? Today they did two separate blog updates, giving us all information about some of the time lines.

The Beta site should be operational by the end of this month! I'm pretty excited. They also should go live with all the features sometime in June which is only a few months away. If Me2everyone is everything they have been hyping it up to be, then us shareholders may be in for quite a pleasant surprise. This has been a nice weekend bonus for those at the Me2everyone forum so worried about the lack of updates.Time will tell I guess. Below is the official update from the site:

WHAT HAPPENED TO MY BETA?

“OK – fantastic concept, but when does it all start?”

That pretty much sums up the responses from thousands of m2e members and 8 weeks since pre-launch we are virtually ready for the first Beta update. So what’s new?

One day an email will arrive from me2everyone telling you that the Beta phase has begun. There will be a link to click and you will come to a cleaner looking web-page with many more options than we offer now. For instance you will be able to “Meet the Team”, reading the bios of everyone involved and also see our photos. This feature will eventually show-case everyone connected to m2e including the Global Execs and Customer Care Managers.

A new presentation is being written and in the “More Info” area there’s a slide show, PDF document and a detailed FAQ section. There is also a link to a more intuitive Contact form with all our contact details there in plain sight. There will also be demographic data streams giving you more information about the community we are building.

There’s space for news updates and space for potential advertisers, but these features won’t be switched on for a few more weeks. Oh yes, there’s the language bar and we are currently hiring people for our One-World translation team with plans to bring you beta in 38 languages!

There’s a new legal centre coming online too – with far more detailed information about the share information and why this is legal. Finally we are adding a “m2e Jobs” page – showing how you can work with me2everyone as we build the community worldwide.


NEW INSIDE?

Yes and no. At first, members will see the pages you can see now. The Beta members’ area is under development and we will launch the new navigation sequence asap. The plan is to have the whole Beta experience live by the end of March 2009 and then test the features for some time, adding new Beta features on a weekly basis.


M2E VERSION 3D?

Beta will enable you to do many of the things you can with other social networks, but it’s the 3D elements that will set us apart. We are planning to launch the 3D aspects and the internal m2e job roles (from mayor to council, enforcers to newspaper owners, real estate agents to forest creators) by mid June 2009.
