New beta private community at Google+

[David Berneda]

I'd like to start a beta testing group for a new feature in TeeChart components and get feedback.

If anybody is interested please follow the link below to request entering this Google+ private community:

Careful, rant ahead.

Steema, why do you always bind yourself to external services like Twitter, Google and whatever? There isn't even an official mail-powered newsletter. Instead, I will have to sign up to Twitter or Facebook to keep up to date (ok, in this case there's also an RSS feed).

Now I will have to create an account with yet another external, totally unrelated service. As pleased as I am with TeeChart itself, I find this "You must sign in to Google+ to view this community" totally out of place.

Hi Jens,

Steema, why do you always bind yourself to external services like Twitter, Google and whatever?

We just use these channels as an extra loudspeaker, most of the times publishing the same there than in our RSS and in the News section in our main page. We also announce new releases in this forum.
Note many people uses Twitter, Facebook and/or Google+ very frequently and so most companies also use the same channels to both win visibility and offer a unified communication channel to their customers.

There isn't even an official mail-powered newsletter. Instead, I will have to sign up to Twitter or Facebook to keep up to date (ok, in this case there's also an RSS feed).

There is a newsletter too. If you don't receive it and you want it, please ask for it at "info at steema dot com".

Now I will have to create an account with yet another external, totally unrelated service. As pleased as I am with TeeChart itself, I find this "You must sign in to Google+ to view this community" totally out of place.

I'm sorry for the inconvenience. We think Google+ communities could be a powerful platform for specific situations. The continuity of this communication channel will probably be related to the opinion of our customers about the same.
