Hello Dave,
My apologies for the delay in responding. I should have learned this lesson from before when I previously sought testers in a Motorcycle forum. That lesson being that I need to pop back in at least daily. To answer your questions, I will be seeking WP/8 users who would be interested in testing out a new App from my employer. At the moment I am reluctant to say who this is, but I suspect it will probably come out sooner or later.
There is no cost to participate in the Beta and my employer has a very generous product compensation program.
A sample of the engagement would be:
1. I start a new forum asking for volunteers that would like to evaluate a new WP8 based app
2. Those interested will be directed to complete a brief SurveyMonkey based survey
3. Based on several factors (timeliness, quality of response, completeness), we will reach out to the candidate with a link to the company's Beta Test site
4. Testing material is provided to the candidate to evaluate the new App
5. At the conclusion, the testers are enrolled in the company's main beta test program which will include product evaluations.
It it my intention to be as open and honest about my engagement as well as provide as much info while not comprising the test pool.
Hope this helps.
