Alpha users are the lifeblood of our pre-launch test program. They get access to the latest features and content in our Alpha environment and help us gauge consumer reactions to site design, features and performance as well as the nature and quality of content. You can also use the community features to interact with other testers on topics which are of interest to you. The focus is on ensuring a good user experience before we do a public launch.
The feedback we collect allows us to plan and schedule improvements which ensure a successful launch with zero surprises.
