Thanks for the mention. I just wanted to clarify a couple of points:

1, ThisNext launches our public beta in a couple of weeks. We are still in private beta right now. If you, or anyone else, would like an invitation, please email me: gordon at thisnext dot com

2, I wanted to mention that Anthem Ventures also backed ThisNext. I don’t want anyone to feel left out- makes for bad board dynamics :-)

Many thanks
