Software vendors who try to (ab)use this forum as a marketing platform should realise that they are shooting themselves in the foot whenever they attempt to push their own software here. I don’t have a problem with new product or version announcements or responses to user query, however any overt or covert attempt to sell is a complete turn-off for me and I find such marketing approaches amateurish and would never act on them.

Hi,
I am still relatively new here, but perhaps the main mistake was to hijack another thread, and compare the product to that one? For example, the tone “Before you’ll reach your conclusion…” implies a direct comparison with the original product (Biblioscape 9) might find flaws.
It might have been better if they had made a new thead, stating something like “Hi, we have a new app called IQTELL that is relevant for outlining and data collection purposes. We are conducting a closed beta, and would like feedback on the product. Please feel free to email us if you would like to participate. Looking forward to your opinions.”
That sounds more similar in tone to the announcements of other software/updates like ConnectedText.
Best, /Pavi

Hello,
Let me explain why I’ve posted here in the first place, I haven’t bumped into the outlinersoftware forum by accident…
This forum was recommended by two forum users that participated in our early beta user group sessions. They mentioned that there are a lot of people here that would love to find out about IQTELL and participate in our beta.
Second, IQTELL is a great research tool among other things, that’s why I’ve posted on this thread. I haven’t said anything about biblioscape nor compared it to our app…just shared an option.
Hope you understand that I had no intention to offend anyone or invade the privacy of the forum’s users in my post.
Thanks for your explanation Pavi.
Regards,
Haim

I agree, and in all fairness, I must add that I found this in the outlinersoftware.com RSS feed, posted 26 October:
“Invites to a private beta - Haim At IQTELL
I’m looking to hand out invites to IQTELL’s private beta.
IQTELL is a new “still under the radar” productivity app that organizes all your tasks, email accounts, projects, documents, notes, bookmarks and searches under one roof that gives you the ability to customize it according to your needs. We’re GTD enabled and are in the process of integrating various productivity techniques work flows into the app.
The app is currently a web app, but we will be releasing in a couple of weeks and Android app (iPhone users will have to wait a bit longer and we have also a desktop client in our near future). We’d love to receive your input, if you’re interested go to - http://iqtell.com/”
I’m not sure whether this was cut by our moderator, or simply not appeared in the website due to some technicality (I assume the latter, or else it would not be in the RSS feed either, would it?)

Alexander,
Thanks for the clarification…I’ve posted this thread prior, but for some reason it disappeared.
Hope to see you on the app,
Haim
