33,000 People Can't Be Wrong...
The final update from Rob Labatt on his Yuku thing brings into play the "Feature Voter" - you'll have to be registered with Yuku and logged in to actually view or use this facility.
Yuku say:
"At Yuku we believe that you know what features you want and when you want us to build them. We created the Yuku feature poll so you can tell us what features you want us to develop next."
I'm frankly amazed that at this stage in Yuku's development, some of the features being discussed are still at the "will we, won't we" stage, given that most of them are already included in competing products available today (no, really available today...).
Not included amongst the features to be voted on are such items as the promised advertising revenue management sharing, the board backup facility - now promised to be available "eventually" (!), etc. but then given that the list is written by Yuku rather than the users, it's not surprising they're missing.
Amongst the items included are those they've already announced such as the Photobucket integration I mentioned earlier! No doubt this will then be used as a way to say, "look! We do listen to what you say and ask for!"
And the title of this post? Well, if you look at what Labatt said at DEMOfall in September 2005, he said they'd had 100 interviews with their biggest board owners and received 33,000 responses to a questionnaire (presumably) looking at what ezboard users wanted. So has this all been brushed aside in favour of the new "feature voter"? The one that's so impressive that with the claimed Yuku/ezboard millions and millions of users, the most popular feature so far, "Domain HTML Pages", has received a massive 19 votes!
