Hello and welcome to a special edition of PROMOTE! as I said
I would put out to help alleviate some of the backlog listings.
This issue contains comments from the survey and just listings
from many of you and others that have been submitted.

I also have a brief call for help in a new project in the
FYI column which is included.

FYI: Call for help.

I am currently starting a new project, that is a portal or
directory/search engine similar to a mini Yahoo. It is aimed at
a target audience in the educational field and those that are
taking tests in college, Tech schools, online and so forth and
those taking certification tests as well or anyone seeking
information on the various tests available for certification,
and links and sources for study tips, cheat cheats, etc.

The name of the portal is ExamSearch.com, and we are currently
looking for urls that pertain to the above mentioned subjects.
We still have to install the search engine/portal software and
the associated databases, and would like to have as many sources
as possible when we prepare to go online. Of course this will
be a free resource and we would like to make it a very
comprehensive site for exams, study tips and sources, etc. all
at one site.

If your site or you have an interest and/or a list of such
resources would you please forward them to me so we can add
them to our databases before we go online. Or if you come across
such a online resource would you forward it to us please.

tests@examsearch.com

Thanks and enjoy the special edition;

Gary

Some comments from our survey about what you like or dislike
and would like to see in PROMOTE!:

---------------------------------------------------------------
Promote is great, and I hope you won't change it as you move to
full-time work on the Net.
However, I can make one recommendation. Can the waiting time for
posting be cut down? We who have used e-mail for some time have
developed a very limited attention and waiting span. We like
instant gratification. Promote is published once a week. That's
fine. However, current backlog is over 70. That means that there
are more than 70 of us who are very impatient to see our ads
published. On May 3, the backlog was over 60 (which means that
the backlog has grown by a whopping 17% since last week) and
items from back in the second week of April were being
published.
Except for this time lag, everything on Promote is just fine.
Keep up the good work.

** I hate it when the numbers don't lie....grin... actually this
is one of the concerns we have as well. We are currently working
on several possible solutions, one of which is either to publish
special editions (such as this one) or twice a week. However we
don't want to be a publication that bombards everyone with
constant mail...grin..
Thanks David you are right on target with the stats (ouch, grin)
