Sometimes this software stuff is just plain hard.
We had planned to release IzeaRanks.com this week but have instead err’d on the side of caution. IzeaRanks.com will let each of you drill down into just what your RealRanks actually mean. Whether you’re a PayPerPost user, a SocialSpark user, or just a blogger looking for a great set of analytics, IzeaRanks.com will be the place to go to compare your blog to other blogs, grab the Izea ToolKit and drill down into the data behind RealRank for any blog we track.
We’re almost there, but almost there doesn’t really cut it. We still need to run QA over the site, we still have some elements that we want to clean up and tidy up, and there are still a couple of features that we really want to have in place, including an API that you mash-up producers can hook into.
With that in mind we’re delaying the launch until the first week of January.
However, in what is really a first for this company, we’re asking for a few volunteers to come into the site in development next week, kick the tires and generally give the whole thing a good workout. If you’re interested, drop me a line directly (pete at(@) izea.com). In this first week we’re limiting the test to not much more than 20 users so if you don’t get a reply from me I’m afraid you didn’t get in to the early test; fret not – you only have a couple of weeks to wait.
